" Suicide mortality of Indigenous Australians has reached alarming levels,particularly among youth. The unique profile of Indigenous suicides indicated the need for specifically tailored preventative programmes" Education for our people like this great website is definatley needed.

Hi, I manage the Queensland Government's research program into the effects of alcohol and gambling and I am currently completing a reference document on all research conducted involving Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander's and am using your site for some referencing

Hello I just stumbled across this site while studying for Home and Community Care, I found it informative and how fantastic to have it all in one place. Well done to all concerned keep up the good work.

As a current student doing my Health Worker training I have found the site extremly helpful so glad I have found it THANKS, to deadly!!!

WOW, what a brilliant, well developed and presented site. Congratulations to all concerned, well done.

Not one mention of lactose intolerance; Indigenous ppl like many aboriginal ppl around the world are lactose intolerant - Aust's Indigenous ppl have had less than 250yrs for their digestive systems to get used to lactose in milk - I am indigenous and stopped drinking milk around 20yrs ago; with a positive result in digestion/colds etc. Soy milk is excellent source of protein; does not have to be put in the fridge until opened, is great for b'fast and just drinking; Why isn't this reported on sites such as this one...May help to prevent a lot of inner ear infections etc. I am an urban indigenous person with history in far south west Qld (Longreach, Jundah) my years of trying to tell everyone who will listen has usually fallen on deaf ears...Please have an article or some kind of research on this topic. PS: I had chronic ear infections as a baby resulting in Bilateral mastiodectomy; had gestational diabetes; and now a type 2 Diabetic; so have had my fair share of the "murri curse' (diabetes). Also, I would like to see a table type display of what is available regarding immunisations via state = and what prescriptions are available; recently my daughter was told by a 'health worker' " you're indigneous, you should get all your prescriptions 'free' = there is a lot of mis information out there and it needs to be made simpler ie in table form not in reams and reams of articles/papers.

I have found this website incredibly comprehensive, easy to understand, informative and most of all sensitive. I am a 1st year medical student and the information from this website is inspiring me to take up the challenges that face our community. It is ridiculous that such a wealthy nation still has such a dramatic health disparity. Thank you, and continue on with the great work. Chinky

Greetings

The website is great and I use it all the time, to assist students and health professionals in this region of Australia, researching topics in indigenous health and related fields.

Last week I received a query which is outlined below, from a student.

"a case study on an Aboriginal person who has just passed away. The question asks what are the cultural implications that may need to be considered upon death of an Aboriginal person. The student asked if you have any resources in regards to grief and loss and/or cultural practices of death"

So for that particular question, the website was not a great deal of use. Other sources proved to be better. That may be a topic to consider for future development.

Keep up your great work.

Yours sincerely Jocelyn Morris
