For many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, past policies and other issues have resulted in barriers to good health. These barriers to health include:
- poverty
- unemployment
- marginalisation
- racism
- overcrowding
- lack of access to services
- cultural misunderstanding
- poor health care system linkages.
Select a program to hear our guest speaker, Dr Mick Adams, talk about other issues that impact on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ health and wellbeing.
Dr Mick Adams is Chair of the National Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation.
