The meaning behind the design

nihec logo

Artist: Toby Dodd, Dreamtime Public Relations, of Ngarrindjeri/Narungga/Kaurna descent.

Meaning: Health Direction.
The smaller outer dots represent Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. The larger dots represent NIHEC’s goals and targets. The direction of the arrow-like shape represents NIHEC advising the government on goals and targets to reduce the life-expectancy gap. The research and developments that NIHEC are doing is increasing the health and life expectancy rate, which appears as the smaller dots becoming larger.

The colours represent Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people; the red/yellow of the Aboriginal flag, and the blue/green of the Torres Strait Islander flag.
