Full textSignificant disparities exist between Indigenous people’s wellbeing and employment rates, and that of non-Indigenous people. Indigenous people are 2.6 times more likely to experience severe psychological distress and have an unemployment rate 4.2 times that of non-Indigenous people. Despite significant effort in the last decade, employment statistics have only improved minimally, and the wellbeing of Indigenous populations is of continued concern. Cultural competency training is considered a useful tool to improve employee wellbeing and retention rates, and is a common practice in many workplaces. Literature that explores Indigenous and non-Indigenous perceptions of wellbeing in the workplace and cultural competency training in the same context is limited. The aim of this study is to explore remote and urban, Indigenous and non-Indigenous perceptions of wellbeing, employment related issues, and cultural competency, and how these three concepts interact. Eight semi-structured interviews were conducted with Indigenous and non-Indigenous professionals; the data was analysed using thematic analysis. The main themes identified were: ‘implications of family, community, and culture’; ‘support’; ‘appropriate work’; ‘discrimination’; ‘confidence in the system; ‘competency versus awareness; and ‘practical barriers’. The findings of this study provide insight into the types of environments perceived to be most conducive to positive wellbeing and retention outcomes in the workplace, and how cultural competency training is perceived.

Full textThe limited available data shows Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples have disproportionately high rates of diabetes-related foot disease, and experience amputation up to 38 times more frequently than non-Indigenous Australians. The high rate of diabetes-related foot disease in this population results in reduced quality of life, elevated hospitalisation rates and associated expenditure, and significantly contributes to preventable deaths. The reasons for higher rates of diabetes-related foot disease in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples are complex, with a lack of available culturally safe care, low socioeconomic status and poor engagement with Western health services significantly contributing to the current catastrophic outcomes. To effectively address diabetes-related foot disease in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, a better understanding of the extent of the problem is required, and, there needs to be improved access to culturally safe foot care through better service provision and a more culturally capable health workforce. This thesis had the overarching aims of establishing the foot health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples in the local Central Coast community, and developing methods to improve access to, and delivery of, culturally safe foot care. This thesis investigated, via systematic review, the current state of diabetes-related foot disease in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and the availability and effectiveness of foot care services to reduce diabetes-related foot complications in this population. The reviews demonstrated there is a lack of nationwide data relating to diabetes-related foot disease in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, and, that most data focuses on amputation rates, with little information available regarding specific types of diabetes-related foot complications. Nevertheless we found Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples had between a 3 to 6 fold increased likelihood of both foot ulcer and minor or major amputation, and, that these occurred at a younger age. Furthermore, we found no evidence of state- or nation-wide foot health programs for prevention of diabetes-related foot disease in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. Existing services were localised and there was little evaluation of the acceptability of these programs, levels of community engagement or impact on foot disease. Subsequently through an extensive community consultation process we used an effective co-design approach to develop a foot care service embedded in an undergraduate podiatry program. Key design elements included; integrating ongoing community consultation; involvement of Aboriginal health workers and practitioners connected to their local community; recognising the role of community in cultural capability training of health students; and, creating a flexible and accessible care model that is aligned with the community foot care priorities. To conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the foot care service model, we used culturally appropriate methods to determine the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspective of program success through research yarns and customised surveys, as well as service utilisation data. These data demonstrated that service elements including yarning circles and group appointments, as well as student placements, increased participant engagement with, and ownership of the clinic. Increasing accessibility to the clinic was flagged as a mechanism to further increase engagement. In addition, student placement in a culturally safe clinic significantly improved students’ understanding of multiple aspects of cultural capability (e.g. understanding of culture, history, and their interrelationship with health and health care delivery), and level of confidence with providing culturally appropriate and safe foot care. In summary this research highlights the devastating impact of diabetes-related foot disease for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and the importance of a co-designed approach to delivery of culturally safe foot health care, as well as the central role of immersive experiences for developing a culturally safe future podiatry workforce.

Full textAfter decades of discrimination and deprivation, Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population faces social circumstances and health status which resemble that of a third world population group. With a wide range of health risk factors and morbidities among this population, a logical place to begin tackling the health problems is at the beginning of life. With increasing recognition of the influence of the intrauterine environment upon health, not only during infancy but into adulthood, improving health during pregnancy offers substantial benefit for present and future generations. The poor health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians is deeply ingrained in social deprivation, poor mental well-being, and an array of modifiable risk factors. Smoking is one risk factor at the centre of this complex web. Smoking is often accompanied by, or used as relief in, stressful situations associated with socioeconomic status, mental health, illness, and other addictions. In order to determine the most appropriate way to tackle the smoking issue among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women, a series of studies were conducted. Initial literature reviews found limited evidence derived from methodologically rigorous studies in mainstream populations, and even less evidence for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, or other Indigenous groups. Exploration of the knowledge and attitudes of these women in relation to antenatal smoking was conducted to identify the most appropriate targets for intervention. The findings from extensive background studies were drawn upon to design an intervention which aimed to be culturally appropriate for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women, providing intensive support to assist these women to quit smoking during their pregnancy. Pilot data from the resulting intervention is presented in Chapter 8 of this Thesis. The social network among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities appears to play a central role in the behaviour of individuals. With an array of risk factors and influences found not only in the individuals surrounding women, but in their socioeconomic circumstances and overall environment, it may be that the most important approach for achieving health and behaviour change among this population is the mobilisation of social support and efforts to intervene with multiple elements of that environment.

Full textAboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples hold a unique position in Australian society, yet they are the most disadvantaged group in the community. This disadvantage is a direct result of the effects of European invasion and the systematic exclusion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples from many institutions of Australian society, such as social security, industrial relations and education systems. The unemployment rate for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is three times the national average, the highest unemployment rate of any group in the Australian labour market. Participation rates, skills, qualifications and income are all well below those of the non-Indigenous population. Since 1967, successive Commonwealth governments have attempted to correct these past policies by being proactive in promoting Indigenous education and employment, and by putting policies into place to redress the disadvantage that Indigenous peoples face. This thesis considers a range of employment issues that relate particularly to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ employment. While noting some of the employment strategies utilised by governments, the particular focus of the thesis is with the strategies pursued by private-sector organisations to manage diversity and to reduce labour market disadvantage for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. By exploring these strategies, the thesis aims to identify what works and what does not work. In so doing, the thesis presents an original contribution to knowledge as the first study to examine private-sector attempts to redress labour market disadvantage for these peoples. In addition, the research will provide the basis for formulating and evaluative framework for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employment.

Full textThe Indigenous Tutorial Assistance Scheme – Tertiary Tuition [ITAS] has provided individual and small group supplementary course content tuition to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander university students since the 1990s. Although linked to increases in higher education participation for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and providing opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander academic sector employment, the Federal government announced cessation of ITAS as at the end of 2015. Support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander participation in higher education will now come via the Indigenous Advancement Strategy [IAS]. Recognising the urgency of documenting valuable community knowledge before it was diminished, this qualitative case study drew on the theoretical literature surrounding Indigenous research, education and government policy and policy review. Purposefully sampling ITAS tutors from the University of Newcastle’s Wollotuka Institute, four experienced ITAS tutors were invited to participate in a yarning circle. Perspectives were captured regarding the quality of relationships that support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander participation in higher education. Situated within an Indigenous research paradigm, findings emerged from the student researcher’s reflexive Aboriginal lens and the iterative process of content analysis and qualitative data analysis activities. Analysis revealed that during times of policy and funding changeover, transparency and the provision of community space for open discussion should be made available to all stakeholders. It would appear that ethical and equitable frameworks of support would accommodate the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, particularly those at the polar ends of the academic continuum. The creation of a new socially just discourse would privilege Indigenous knowledges of how to navigate and succeed at the university cultural interface along with the relationships that support this goal.
