Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members and providers are invested in the co-creation of an innovative, well-integrated hospital that meets the needs of the community. Common themes of respect and recognition, relationships and partnering, and capacity building emerged as important consumer and provider considerations when developing and evaluating care services.
