Aboriginal Health - resources for professionals
Murrumbidgee First Nations Toolkit for General Practice
The First Nations Toolkit for General Practice is designed to support general practices within the Murrumbidgee region to deliver culturally safe and inclusive care to First Nation’s people and communities. Specifically, the toolkit aims to improve health outcomes by addressing the challenges First Nations peoples face in accessing healthcare through mainstream services.
Working with the Stolen Generations: understanding trauma.
These resources are designed to guide these professions on providing services to Stolen Generations survivors without triggering trauma. They were developed in collaboration with survivors and industry bodies including the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners, the Australian Dental Association, Aged & Community Services Australia and the Aged Care Industry Association.
The resources are part of The Healing Foundation's Action Plan for Healing project, funded by the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet in 2017 following the 20th anniversary of the 1997 Bringing them Home report.
An Australian Institute of Health and Welfare report commissioned by The Healing Foundation as part of the Action Plan for Healing project found there are over 17,000 Stolen Generations survivors in Australia today, and by 2023 they will all be aged over 50 and eligible for aged care.
