The aim of the project is to develop an Indigenous health theme that will provide fully integrated curriculum approaches to ensure all staff and students in the Faculty of Health Science:

• recognise Indigenous aspirations regarding health and health care, including cultural autonomy and self-determination;
  
  
• understand the significance of social, environmental, economic and historical factors for contemporary Indigenous health profiles and issues;
  
  
• develop a coherent personal and professional approach in relation to Indigenous health, which is reflective and informed by understandings about cultural difference, Indigenous history and racism; and
  
  
• demonstrate their understanding of these issues in their interactions with Indigenous patients and clients, their families and Indigenous health staff, and in their approaches to primary health care.
