As you can tell from my essay last week, I am very interested in the differences between Indigenous-Australian health and non-Indigenous Australian health. It is frustrating to me that there are so many opportunities for non-Indigenous Australians just because of location. Unfortunately, I have found that although Indigenous Australians are more prone to some diseases, especially diabetes etc., many health issues are caused due to poor health standards in rural Australia. To be general, many Aboriginals live in 'the middle of nowhere', out in the outback. Unfortunately health care in the outback can sometimes not be up to scratch. Here is a link to read more about Indigenous health... http://www.healthinfonet.ecu.edu.au/
I found this site very helpful in my research into this matter.
I don't have too much to talk about this week as I have just returned from my trip but I really do find this health issue saddening and interesting!
