Expenditure on health for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people 2010-11.
Canberra: Australian Institute of Health and Welfare
This report provides an estimate of expenditure for health goods and services for Indigenous people in 2010-11. It is part of the Expenditure on health for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples series, and builds on the previous six reports released by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare.
This report found that health expenditure for Indigenous people accounted for 3.7% of all Australia's recurrent health expenditure. Publicly funded health services, including public hospitals and community health services, were the highest areas of Indigenous health expenditure; expenditure on pharmaceutical and dental services were generally lower for Indigenous people than for non-Indigenous people. This report also includes details on funding sources and health expenditure trends over time.

This book contains unique stories and imagery and primary source material from the Ngangkari; senior Aboriginal people authorised to speak publicly about Anangu (Western Desert language speaking Aboriginal people) culture and practices. It is accurate, authorised information about their work, written in their own words.
The practice of traditional healing is still very much a part of contemporary Aboriginal society. The Ngangkari currently employed at Ngaanyatjarra Pitjantjatjar Yankunytjatjara Women's Council Aboriginal Corporation deliver treatments to people across a tri-state region of about 350,000 square km, in more than 25 communities in South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory. Ngangkari work collaboratively with hospitals and health professionals even beyond this region, working hand in hand with western medical practitioners.

This report presents the findings of an independent performance audit in the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs, the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations and the Department of Health and Ageing. The focus of the audit was the provision of programs and services to remote Indigenous communities. In particular, how these organisations attempt to reduce the risks associated with service delivery by Indigenous organisations who have a significant role in the delivery of these services on behalf of the Australian Government. The key findings included:
- the influences on service delivery capacity for service providers (in particular remote service providers)
- risk management for program and service delivery outcomes
- Australian Government investment to support capacity for Indigenous service delivery.
Recommendations and the responses of the three departments to the report are included.

This report has been prepared as part of the Australian Centre of Excellence for Local Government (ACELG) Rural-remote and Indigenous local government program. In 2011, ACELG released a report which found that the current demands and expectations placed on rural-remote and Indigenous local government councils could not be maintained, especially if they continued to grow unrestrained. The current report focuses on:
- providing a profile of rural-remote and Indigenous councils from Western Australia, Northern Territory and Queensland, and identifying factors that impact on local capacity
- a review of background information from past research and inquiries to identify federal, state and community expectations and issues from discussions with these stakeholders
- the identification of further actions and research which could contribute to the objectives of ACELG.

Office of the Northern Territory Coordinator-General for Remote Services report: June 2011 to August 2012.
Darwin: Office of the Northern Territory Coordinator-General for Remote Services
This is the first of two annual reports that examine the objectives, strategies and funding arrangements of agreements that form the basis of the partnership between the Commonwealth and Northern Territory (NT) governments aimed at closing the gap in living conditions and social outcomes for Aboriginal Territorians.
The geographies assessed in the report include; Territory growth towns, Community living areas, town camps, homelands, communities and outstations.
The report focuses on four major themes arising from the approach taken by governments in relation to Aboriginal people since the NT emergency response (NTER) commenced in 2007 and reflected in the Stronger futures arrangements proposed for the next ten years. These are:
- transparency and accountability
- the balance between the crisis and developmental aspects of initiatives under both the NTER and Stronger futures
- the marginalisation of Aboriginal people in decision making and resource allocation
- the lack of long-term planning and capacity development within Aboriginal towns, particularly the transfer of service delivery from Aboriginal organisations to the non-Indigenous, non-profit sector.
The report makes twelve recommendations in the following areas:population and mobility; one-stop shop business centres; accountability and transparency; prioritisation of investments; community safety; early childhood; education; youth services review; labour force participation; workforce development (housing); housing; and health (morgues).

The Primary clinical care manual: 7th edition is a clinical reference guide developed by the Queensland Health Royal Flying Doctor Service. The manual is intended to be the current principal clinical reference and policy document for health professionals working in rural and remote Queensland. It contains health management protocols that support the advanced practice of authorised Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Workers (AHW), scheduled medicines (rural and isolated practice) registered nurses, authorised sexual and reproductive health registered nurses, and Immunisation program authorised registered nurses. These health management protocols set out the circumstances, conditions and restrictions under which medicines listed in the drug therapy protocols can be used.
This clinical reference guide is suitable for use in emergency departments within rural and remote health facilities where there are limited diagnostic resources.

Australian Department of Health and Ageing Central Australia Renal Study.
Canberra: Australian Department of Health and Ageing
The central Australia renal study was a joint study by the Australian, Northern Territory, South Australian and Western Australian Governments, conducted by the George Institute for Global Health for the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing. The study was undertaken to inform the governments in the cross‐jurisdictional region to make evidence based policy decisions to better meet the health and service needs of Aboriginal dialysis patients in the region, in affordable and sustainable ways. Building on work already undertaken by the Government in the development of National services guidelines for the management of dialysis and kidney transplantation in Remote Australia 2006, the current study also takes into account stakeholder consultation and activity-based data. Key findings identified current and future treatment issues such as those associated with location and cost. A preferred renal services model was presented as a primary recommendation of the study with the model representing a structured and sustainable transition from the current urban facility model, to expansion of community based care as a way of addressing the current gaps in service for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander renal patients.

Trachoma surveillance report 2009.
Melbourne: National Trachoma Surveillance and Reporting Unit
This is the fourth surveillance report compiled for the National Trachoma Surveillance and Reporting Unit (NTSRU) by the Centre for Molecular, Environmental, Genetic and Analytic Epidemiology at the School of Population Health, University of Melbourne.
The report compares the 2009 data with results from the screenings in 2006, 2007 and 2008. It comments on the implementation of the Communicable Disease Network Australia (CDNA) guidelines' Minimum best-practice approach. The CDNA guidelines are based on the World Health Organisation's (WHO) SAFE strategy: Surgery (for trichiasis), Antibiotic treatment, Facial Cleanliness and Environmental improvement. The WHO aims at eliminating blinding trachoma by 2020. Australia is the only developed nation where trachoma is present.
The focus of the report is data for Aboriginal children aged 1 to 9 years, across 15 regions and 289 communities in the Northern Territory, South Australia and Western Australia. Main messages from the report are:
- Endemic trachoma remains a major public health problem among Indigenous Australians, detected in 60% of the communities surveyed.
- The prevalence of trachoma across Australia has not changed over the four years.
- There is a large pool of undiagnosed and untreated trachoma among Indigenous children, with prevalence of 14%.
- There is a lesser but still substantial pool of untreated trichiasis (in-turned eyelashes) among Indigenous adults, with prevalence of 4%.
- There is some evidence that the SAFE intervention is having an impact on reducing trachoma prevalence in Western Australia.

Sydney: Australians for Native Title and Reconciliation
This booklet highlights success stories from a range of Aboriginal community controlled organisations in the Northern Territory. The booklet demonstrates the potential of Aboriginal organisations to respond to the challenges facing their communities. Success in an Aboriginal community organisation or program was measured by the following;
1. Community participation at all levels including management.
2. Community participation that is real and not symbolic.
3. Community control of both processes and outcomes.
4. Community control over how resources are allocated.
5. Sustainability of the project, organisation or initiative.
This booklet celebrates the success stories occurring in the Northern Territory and that sustainable outcomes can be achieved for children, families and communities.

Pathways to resilience: rural and remote Indigenous community suicide prevention initiative: final report.
Brisbane: Centre for Rural and Remote Mental Health Queensland
This paper reports on the evaluation outcomes of a suicide prevention project undertaken by the Centre for Rural and Remote Mental Health Queensland (CRRMHQ) titled Pathways to resilience (P2R). Funding for the project was provided by the Department of Communities and the Queensland Government Suicide Prevention Strategy 2003-2008 served as a guide for the development of the project.
The P2R project was premised on the belief that communities have the knowledge and ability to address suicide locally and to develop solutions appropriate for their peoples. Six communities participated in the project and phase one involved consulting with each community to identify issues of concern and to develop strategies for addressing such issues. This consultation process led to the development of Suicide Prevention Activity Plans for each community. Phase two of the project involved the implementation of the community activity plans.
Information generated from the project's evaluation revealed the completed community activities increased participants' knowledge and awareness about Indigenous suicide which enhanced participants' health capacity and led to feelings of empowerment. The evaluation also identified several key factors pertinent to the success of suicide prevention initiatives including: strong community ownership and empowerment; culturally appropriate activities; a focus on awareness raising and safe environments; capacity building; the formation of strong community partnerships and networks; and flexibility in the range of activities offered.

Research to inform the development of the Youth Diversion Communication Strategy in the East Kimberly and Central Desert Region: final report.
Canberra: Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs
This research was conducted by the Cultural and Indigenous Research Centre Australia (CIRCA) on behalf of the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA). The aim of the research was to inform future communication strategies and policy designed to reduce the incidence of substance abuse among Aboriginal young people in the East Kimberly and Central Desert Regions. Researchers conducted stakeholder interviews in the Northern Territory (NT) and Western Australia (WA), including site visits to Docker River (NT) and Kununurra (WA) between September and October 2009.
One of the major findings of this research is that communications are not seen as a priority for addressing Volatile Substance Abuse (VSA) among Aboriginal young people. Instead of funding communications, providing significant funding and support for Youth diversion programs was identified as a way to have the greatest impact on VSA.
The research identified that the most likely way to use communications development to impact substance misuse was to work with at-risk youth to design and develop resources that target other young people. This method can effectively engage youth with key messages on harm minimisation and prevention, and educate them on the long term affects of substance misuse. When considering the most effective way to use message delivery for young people in the central desert and Kimberley regions, the research indicates that a fluid, dynamic and interactive communication strategy is most appropriate.
Different strategies are needed to address different population groups including: young people; key influencers: families, elders and community leaders; youth workers; retailers; and non-Indigenous residents.

Environmental health needs of Aboriginal communities in Western Australia: the 2008 survey and its findings.
Perth: Western Australian Department of Health, Public Health Division
The Environmental Health Needs Survey was conducted over 2007 and 2008 and is the third survey in a series which surveyed housing, services, utilities, community infrastructure and the immediate living environment in discrete Aboriginal communities in Western Australia. Data collected related to over 15,000 residents from 232 communities. This publication reports the outcomes of this survey and provides a comparison with the outcomes of the 1997 and 2004 surveys.
The survey was conducted by environmental health practitioners who work with and in discrete Aboriginal communities. The practitioners visited the communities to survey existing infrastructure. Information was also collected about levels of community satisfaction and any concerns with the provision of essential, municipal and allied services which influenced and affected environmental health in the communities.
The core environmental health and infrastructure issues covered in the report were:
- water
- electricity
- housing
- solid waste disposal
- sanitation
- dust
- dog health programs
- emergency management
The report provides an evidence base which highlights the continued environmental health issues faced by many of the communities who participated in the survey. It is the foundation for the future direction of service plans and delivery in discrete communities.

Healthy stores, healthy communities: the impact of outback stores on remote Indigenous Australians.
Sydney: Centre for Independent Studies
The government healthy eating campaigns to combat the ‘gap' in health status between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians have tended to assume that the poor diets of Indigenous Australians and their subsequent poor health outcomes are because of their lack of knowledge about what foods are healthy. But lack of education is not always the problem. For many residents of remote communities it is the problems with supply and affordability of produce that limit the opportunities to consume fresh fruit and vegetables on a regular basis.
In 2006 the Rudd Government established a company called Outback Stores, to manage remote community stores on behalf of Indigenous communities. The purpose was to address poor management practices and reduce uneconomic cultural practices, which can result in the stores selling goods at high prices or providing inferior products and poor service.
In this report Sara Hudson, Policy Analyst in the Indigenous Affairs Research Program at The Centre for Independent Studies, discusses the impact of the Outback Stores on remote communities. She argues that the government involvement in Outback Stores has created an unequal playing field that stifles competition, and makes it more difficult for independent community stores to keep operating. She suggests that Outback Stores should not be allowed to operate in communities of over 500 residents and that government intervention into remote stores should be confined to monitoring and regulating stores practices.

Looking after country in New South Wales: two case studies of socioeconomic benefits for Aboriginal people.
Canberra: Centre for Aboriginal Economic Policy Research
This report highlights two Aboriginal groups in NSW engaging their people in looking after country and exploring the socio-economic benefits of caring for country. A review of the literature of natural resource management in NSW and existing research establishing the social benefits of caring for country across northern Australia was undertaken.
The two organisations in this report Banbai Business Enterprises, manages the first Indigenous Protected Area (IPA) in New South Wales, 'Wattleridge', on the New England Tablelands north east of Guyra, and now a second IPA, 'Tarriwa Kurrukun', on land owned by the Guyra Local Aboriginal Land Council. The Nyambaga Green Team, operates from the Ngurrala Aboriginal Corporation near Macksville, New South Wales.
It was demonstrated that utilising a holistic concept emphasised the importance of Indigenous social, cultural, political and spiritual systems and the relationships between Indigenous people and the earth. This is an asset based approach - building on the existing strengths, capacities, cultural knowledge and responsibilities and family networks within communities.
Both enterprises respond to the communities own aspiration to carry out their cultural obligations and look after country. The ideal of development is linked with culture and identity.

Cultural wealth community health (2010)
Rural Health West
This cultural awareness resource is intended to be an introduction for health professionals who find themselves working in rural and remote locations, meeting, working and caring for Indigenous Australians. This resource is divided into a number of sections with discrete headings, including;
- the history of Indigenous Australians;
- impact of colonisation;
- the importance of family;
- kinship systems;
- spirituality and the Dreaming;
- cultural protocols
- communication; and
- health.
For new health professionals working in rural and remote locations, there will be an adjustment period between the health professional and the community, to gain a level of trust and to establish a working partnership that leads to positive health outcomes for the community. This resource aims to help in establishing a positive working partnership. The resource is easy to read and wonderfully illustrated, and makes useful suggestions on what to do, how to do it and what to avoid.
The resource has an extensive reference list with online links, book titles and films available on DVD to assist those to further their knowledge.

This report details the outcomes of the East Arnhem Regional Healthy Skin Project which was implemented into East Arnhem Land in September 2004 to develop community based control of skin infections in the region. The project involved screening children aged 15 years and younger for scabies, skin sores, and tinea, and also included treatment and follow up services. The results of the project are for a three year period from 2004 to 2007 and are discussed in terms of the prevalence of skin sores, scabies, and tinea over the study period.
Essentially the report highlights the success of the project in reducing skin sore prevalence and infected scabies. The project also led to the establishment of an outreach service model whereby all infants and children attending Baby Health Clinics are screened for skin infections and appropriately treated. Follow up home visits are also provided to those families with children with identified skin infections. The report concludes by remarking that plans exist to continue the project for a further 12 months to determine whether further gains can be made in reducing the prevalence of scabies, skin sores, and tinea.

Cairns, QLD: Centre for Rural & Remote Mental Health Queensland
This report describes the implementation and findings of a community based suicide prevention initiative in several Queensland Indigenous communities. The project used the knowledge and experience of the Indigenous community in Yarrabah as a model for other communities for the establishment of effective and sustainable community based approaches to build resilience, reduce suicide risk exposure and reduce self-harm. Through knowledge sharing, the skills, knowledge and experience of each community was strengthened.
The report documents the implementation of this project and discusses the various challenges encountered. This may have valuable implications for future Indigenous community based suicide prevention programs using an empowerment approach.

The House of Representatives Standing Committee on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs tabled the report Everybody's Business: Remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Community Stores in November 2009. The Hon Jenny Macklin MP, Minister for Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs had requested in December 2008 that the Committee inquire into and report on the operation of community stores in remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait communities. The report detailed the findings and recommendations of the committee.
The terms of reference for the Inquiry were:
The Committee shall inquire into and report on the operation of local community stores in remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, with a particular focus on:
- Food supply, quality, cost and competition issues;
- The effectiveness of the Outback Stores Model, and other private, public and community store models; and
- The impact of these factors on the health and economic outcomes of communities.
The Committee received over 112 submissions, held 28 public hearings and visited stores in 17 remote Indigenous communities.

This report examines the feasibility of, and method for, conducting a study of the costs and benefits of homeland living for Indigenous peoples in Australia. The report also examines the evidence currently available in relation to these benefits and costs. The study found that there is strong evidence on the health benefits for Indigenous Australians living on their homeland. Evidence on the costs associated with homeland living was varied, but the author argues that this should not support the current government policies which threaten the present homeland movement. The report recommends that an interim moratorium on policy action for the homelands takes place until further research is undertaken.

Sugar in the bush: rural and remote diabetes [DVD].
: Rural Health Education Foundation
Australians living in rural and remote areas have been shown to have higher rates of risk factors and mortality from diabetes than their metropolitan counterparts. In 2004-05, it was found that death rates due to diabetes were significantly higher in all regional areas.
This program explores the treatment and management of diabetes in rural and remote Australia. The context is explored through four case studies, developed by The Menzies School of Health Research. The case studies highlight a variety of special circumstances, including pregnancy, older age, and co-morbidity.

Relapse prevention in remote Indigenous mental health.
Doctor of Philosophy thesis, Menzies School of Health Research and Charles Darwin University: Darwin
This study was designed to provide important new information about relapse prevention in Indigenous* people with chronic mental illness. A key cause of the burden of disease of mental illness is the high frequency of relapse of common mental disorders. National and international best practice guidelines recommend a range of biological and psychological strategies to prevent recurrence of mental illness. There is good evidence that many of these relapse prevention strategies improve outcomes, but there has been a paucity of clinical research into Indigenous-specific interventions.
The study was conducted in two remote Indigenous communities in the Top End of the Northern Territory (NT). It targeted Indigenous clients, carers, and Aboriginal Mental Health Workers (AMHWs) and sought to answer two questions as follows: 'can a culturally appropriate brief intervention be developed which incorporates local Indigenous perspectives of mental health and mental illness?' and 'does the brief intervention improve client mental health outcomes compared with treatment as usual'?
Assessment, psychoeducation, and care-planning resources were developed with local AMHWs in the two communities. These were gathered into a focused brief intervention. The study then implemented a randomised trial of the intervention compared with 'treatment as usual'. Clients were randomised to an 'early treatment' group, which received the intervention at baseline, and a 'late treatment' group, which received the intervention six months later. Client outcomes were assessed six monthly for eighteen months.
Participants showed significant reductions in emotional distress and substance use and significant improvements in self-management. The results confirm that promotion of self-management through psychoeducation and goal-setting is an effective relapse prevention strategy. The study contributes important new information about cross-cultural perspectives of mental health, and provides a strategy to deliver treatment in the remote setting that is brief and effective.
* For the purpose of this thesis 'Indigenous' refers to Australia's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and acknowledges their rich diversity of culture.
