Media Releases
The CRC for Aboriginal Health regularly advocates through the media for improvements to the delivery of health services to Aboriginal people and intervenes to inform debate and discussion in the Australian media about Aboriginal health.
One of the ways we do this is through the broad distribution of media releases and media backgrounders. Below are CRCAH media releases from 2005 to 2009.
