There is urgent need for truth telling and self-determination to address the actualities and inter-generational health and wellbeing impacts of racial discrimination in Australia’s health services and complex health system. Singular interventions that particularly focus on quantifying Indigenous people's morbidity and mortality and inequalities, as opposed to addressing the inequities that cause them, is a key and much needed paradigm shift in the way Indigenous health research is approached.
This unique Indigenous-led project was a collaboration with five Indigenous and four non-Indigenous CI researchers, with five AIs, to understand Indigenous people's’ experiences of discrimination when accessing health services.
This project was funded by an NHMRC Ideas Grant.
