Health Translation SA’s logo motif is derived from an original art piece painted by Professor Alex Brown, an Aboriginal man from the New South Wales South coast.

Alex is a Deputy Director at the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI), SAHMRI Aboriginal Health Theme Leader, and a member of Health Translation SA Board of Partners.

The artwork represents “collaboration” and highlights the importance of connecting the efforts of individuals, organisations and communities if we are to realise the potential of the partnership approach that underpins Health Translation SA. It acknowledges that a collaborative effort with a common vision is required to tackle the issues that currently undermine the health of South Australians.

Health Translation SA respectfully acknowledge Aboriginal people as the traditional owners and custodians of the land and waterways on which we meet and where our facilities are located. We acknowledge the deep feelings of attachment and relationship of Aboriginal people to their Country. We pay respect to the Elders past, present and future, community members and culture and continue to uphold their ongoing relationship to the land and waterways.
