Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health and nutrition
The breakfast club
An important part of Oxfam Australia's work is improving health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Nutritional support is a big part of this.

The Oxfam Gulf Regional Health Service, funded primarily by the Federal Department of Health and Ageing, works to promote good health for the people of Doomadgee, Normanton and Mornington Island in far north Queensland.
Oxfam’s Breakfast club program in Mornington Island is an example of how a simple initiative can produce wide-reaching results. This particular program not only improves the health and wellbeing of Indigenous children, it is also improving their school attendance rate.
Our Mornington Island breakfast program is funded through The Prem Rawat Foundation.
