” Like most of my Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander colleagues, I recognise that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-led and culturally safe primary health care services, strengthened by a well supported A&TSI health workers and practitiioners, are key variables in addressing the widening health gaps between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and non-Indigenous people in Australia.
Developing a culturally safe health workforce is heavily dependent on greater Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander representation across all health professions.
However, the particular availability of A&TSI health workers and health practitioners is, in many situations, instrumental to culturally safe health service delivery due to their cultural connections, professional positioning and scope of practice.
There is nothing new in saying that to achieve health equity for all in Australia requires much greater emphasis on preventive approaches delivered through increased investment in comprehensive primary health care.
The Declaration of Alma-Ata identified the importance of this in 1978. In addition, this year’s Close the Gap Campaign report reaffirmed the relevance of targeted, needs-based primary health care in the pursuit of health equity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Importantly, the report highlighted the proven track record of Aboriginal community-controlled organisations in the provision of appropriate, culturally safe, effective and cost-efficient primary health care to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and included evidence of the integral role that A&TSI health workers and health practitioners can have in primary health care service effectiveness.
