The IAHA National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Academy is a major and innovative program designed to create supportive, culturally informed, and localised pathways for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to pursue careers in health, primarily through school-based traineeships.

A national program with key success factors, the Academy is delivered in a tailored and place-based way to be a cultural and community fit in each location. The Senior Program Support Officer plays a lead role in ensuring the delivery, growth, and development of the program through supporting the success of young people and providing tailored and holistic support to trainees. This includes supporting the day-to-day operations, building relationships through regular student, stakeholder and community engagement, working with stakeholders involved in the program delivery, such as schools and Registered Training Organisations, and maintaining relationships with the national program.

In NNSW, the program is primarily based at the Southern Cross University Lismore Campus supporting student across the Northern Rivers Region, with a satellite cohort in the Tweed.
