STEPS – To complete your Written Assignment:-
Undeniably Australian Government policy from the past has directly impacted upon the health status of Indigenous Australians today – The focus of this assessment will be on: – ‘Australian Indigenous Men and Women’.
“Discuss how the ‘Policy of Assimilation 1961’, (Copy located under Module 3 Learning Materials) has impacted on the overall health status of Australian Indigenous Men and Women today”.
STEP 1 – It is important for health professionals to gain knowledge of the pre-invasion health status of the Australian Indigenous population to understand the impact caused by Australia’s government policies. You should start your written assignment by identifying the pre-invasion health status of ‘Australian Indigenous Peoples’
STEP 2 – Provide a background statement outlining the current health status of Australian Indigenous Peoples and how this contrasts with their representation of health. Note –Indigenous Australian people have their own interpretation of health which contrasts greatly to the western medical model
