- Description
- The Council of Australian Government identifies many initiatives that aim to address the discrepancies across several key areas in relation to Aboriginal people forming the basis of the Close The Gap Policy. Improved outcomes in Aboriginal health is one such key area. National and international research has identified that Aboriginal people respond favourably to health care provided by Aboriginal health professionals leading to improved access and better health outcomes. With the training and employment of more Aboriginal people within the health profession gaps may be addressed in rural health workforce shortages and improvements may be had in access and treatment of Aboriginal people.1,23 A recent initiative in the Tamworth region of the Hunter New England Health Service in New South Wales (NSW) has shown that it is possible for more Aboriginal women to become involved in nursing in a rural setting.
