Furthering understanding of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander allied workforce
Examining the scope and value of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander allied health workforce in Australia from a cultural and economic lens
This project proposed an Indigenous-led, community co-design and evaluation of a sustainable Practice Nurse-Model of Care (PN-MoC) for chronic disease management at a rural Aboriginal Health Service. The PN-MoC will focus on the values and needs of Indigenous Australians to redefine the way healthcare is provided, ensuring equitable access and culturally-acceptable health outcomes.
‘The Lowitja Institute Major Grant is an important opportunity for IAHA to lead research important to us, with the support of expertise and in partnership with the Lowitja Institute, an act of self-determination for us as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-controlled organisation.
‘The project, Examining the scope and value of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander allied health workforce in Australia from a cultural and economic lens, will support IAHA and others in understanding the importance of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health workforce and to promote greater investment into Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander led workforce solutions.’
