Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health professionals are essential to the delivery of culturally safe care, in primary health care settings, in specialist and other health services, and in the engagement of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in their own health. Attempts to effectively grow and develop the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander workforce require more evidence about the role, value, and impact that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander workers have within the health workforce and within the health system.
