Description

This subject introduces students to the foundations of Indigenous health and wellbeing, with a focus on contemporary Indigenous peoples’ perspectives. Students examine cultural, historical, structural and social determinants of Indigenous wellbeing. Students develop core public health skills in communication and advocacy with Indigenous peoples. Students engage in reflective practice, questioning their own cultural lens and the influence this lens has on ensuring equitable healthcare. The knowledge and skills learned form the foundations for developing graduate cultural capabilities that support culturally safe and respectful practice working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
