Journal
Australian Indigenous HealthBulletin Vol 7 No 4
The October 2007 - December 2007 issue of the Australian Indigenous HealthBulletin is now 'in progress' and available online (view current issue). The purpose of the Australian Indigenous HealthBulletin is to provide access to information of relevance to Australian Indigenous health. Reflecting the wide range of our users - policy makers, service providers, researchers, students and the general community - the HealthBulletin attempts to keep people informed of current events of relevance, as well as information about recent research.
As with all areas of our site, we welcome your assistance and
contributions in making the Australian Indigenous HealthBulletin as
useful as possible. Please let us know (view
HealthInfoNet contact details) about events and information
relating to sections of the HealthBulletin. If you would
like to submit an article for inclusion in 'Original articles',
'Reviews' or 'Brief reports', please see the notes for contributors
(view notes for
contributors).

Indigenous social and emotional wellbeing
We have recently developed an Indigenous social and emotional wellbeing web resource and yarning place - a ‘one-stop info-shop’ for people working, studying or interested in the social and emotional wellbeing of Indigenous peoples. » view web resource
The web resource provides quality information and materials about how to promote the social and emotional wellbeing of Indigenous peoples. We are still in the process of developing the review of the social and emotional wellbeing of Indigenous peoples for this resource, but have decided to make available the information we have already gathered.
The web resource also supports an Indigenous social and emotional wellbeing yarning place by providing electronic services that encourage information sharing and collaboration among the full range of people working in health and related sectors. The yarning place is available online and membership is free. Anyone working, studying, or otherwise interested in promoting the social and emotional wellbeing of Indigenous Australians is encouraged to join. » more information
