Health Related Projects Below are a list of current projects we are undertaking in the area of Health education: HIV/AIDS Education Education for HIV/AIDS is continuing through funds granted by Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing (OATSIH) under the HIV/AIDS Education Project. This education seeks to redress some of the problems or misconception caused by previous Education attempts in this area. Click here for a story of our HIV/AIDS education in action.

Strongyloidiasis is caused by infection with enteric threadworms, Strongyloidiasis causes significant ill health for extended periods of time, and is the cause of death in a smaller number of cases. A partnership between MiWATJ health, The Top End Division of General Practice and ARDS saw the development of an educational flip chart. ARDS has also developed an educational video on the subject.
