Indigenous Australians and the National Disability Insurance Scheme
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is one of the major policy innovations of the early 21st century in Australia, representing a new way of delivering services to people with a disability and those who care for them. It has the potential to transform the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, giving them greater certainty and control over their lives. There is a higher incidence of disability in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population than in the Australian population more generally, so the NDIS is of particular relevance to Indigenous Australians. However, Indigenous Australians with a disability have a very distinct age, geographic and health profile, which dif...
Prisoner Health in Australia
"The prison population is known to have relatively poor health, with the poor mental health of prisoners a particular concern. A significant proportion of people in the prison system are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Despite the needs of prisoners, and the association between prisoners' health and the health of the wider community, there is remarkably little national information available on prisoners. Most health information is either collected through ad hoc surveys or is paper-based and remains in medical records. This report highlights the need for reliable national information about the health of prisoners at the point of reception, during custody, and at release and post-release. It contains a national audit of current health information collected by each jurisdiction, and lays the foundation for the development of national prisoner health indicators."--Book jacket.
What Works to Overcome Indigenous Disadvantage
"The Closing the Gap Clearinghouse was established by the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) to bring together evidence-based research on overcoming disadvantage for Indigenous Australians. The Clearinghouse provides access to a collection of information on what works to improve Indigenous people's lives across the building blocks of early childhood and schooling, economic participation, health and safe communities. The Clearinghouse not only collects, but also systematically analyses and synthesises this evidence. This paper provides policy makers with key findings about what works and assesses the gaps in the evidence. It also sets out progress of the Clearinghouse towards its objectives in its first year of operation" -- P. 1.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Labour Force Statistics and Data Quality Assessment
This report has two purposes. The first is to present information on health labour force statistics as they relate to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, drawing on a number of data sources. The second is to examine the quality of the data. The information presented focuses on three groups in the health labour force: Indigenous people in the health workforce, health professionals working in Aboriginal health services, Indigenous people undertaking health-related study or training.
Family Violence Among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples
'Family violence among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' presents information on the extent of violence (in particular family violence) in the Indigenous population, using existing surveys and administrative data collections. Information is presented on the prevalence of violence, associated harm and services for victims of violence, as well as on those in contact with the criminal justice system. The report also discusses gaps in existing information, the extent to which Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are identified and strategies to improve the information on family violence. This report is a useful resource for policy makers, administrators of programs and researchers with an interest in issues affecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Australia's Health 2000
Extensive report on patterns of health and illness; supply and use of health services, and health services costs and performance in Australia. This reports specifically on the nation's five health priority areas - cancer control, cardiovascular health, injury prevention and control, mental health, and diabetes.
What Works to Overcome Indigenous Disadvantage
The Closing the Gap Clearinghouse was established by the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) to bring together evidence-based research on overcoming disadvantage for Indigenous Australians. This paper focuses on three of the seven COAG building blocks that were the focus of the Clearinghouse in Year 2: early childhood; healthy homes; and governance and leadership. It provides policy makers with key findings about what works, what doesn't, and gaps in the evidence.
