Programs

 

This section will include a wide range of information about programs and services related to Indigenous health. (As is the case with a number of other sections on this site, the material in some of the sub-sections is quite limited, but we will be expanding this over time.)

Programs and services are developed and run within particular policy contexts, which are summarised in the section entitled 'Policies and administration'. 'Major developments in national Indigenous health policy since 1967', is the first of a series of timelines in which we intend summarising developments in various aspects of Indigenous health policy. These timelines should assist people to understand the historical and current context of Indigenous health, and hopefully learn from past experiences in addressing the health disadvantages experienced by Indigenous people.

The other sub-sections, 'Health promotion', 'Other programs' and 'Health workforce', address other major aspects about programs and services related to Indigenous health. The first of these, 'Health promotion', has been restructured to make the information more easily accessible. A number of published resources pertaining to health services have recently been added to the 'Other programs' section, but this and the section on 'Health workforce' still require substantial development.
