Context
Improving the health status of Aboriginal and To
es Strait Islander peoples in Australia is a
longstanding challenge for health services and governments in Australia. While there have been
improvements on some measures of Aboriginal and To
es Strait Islander health status, they have not
matched the rapid health gains made in the general population in Australia. The inequality in health
status experienced by Aboriginal and To
es Strait Islander peoples is linked to systemic
discrimination. This has been identified as a human rights concern by United Nations committees;
and acknowledged as such by Australian governments.
You will gain skills in producing an informative and engaging report, improve your ability to effectively
and accurately communicate information, increase your knowledge and understanding of Aboriginal
and To
es Strait Islander health and improve your academic skills.
This assessment will advance your evidence evaluation, critical analysis and report writing skills which
may be transferable to report writing and delivery in the professional context. Designing and
delivering reports also develops competency in advocacy for health problems.
Task Instructions

this health issue and whether the health outcomes for Aboriginal and To
