Other publications

Publications from various States and Territories of relevance to Indigenous health promotion in Western Australia have been compiled here. Included are journal articles, reports, theses, conference proceedings and other literature specific to Western Australia and also to other states and territories. Due to the volume of publications from other states and territories, compiled information has been limited to those developed since 2004.

For publications from other states and territories that address a range of Indigenous health issues, select a topic of interest from the HealthInfoNet health index webpage.
