National Aboriginal Health Strategy

The National Aboriginal Health Strategy was a plan developed in Australia in 1989 to improve the health and well-being of Indigenous Australians. It emphasized the importance of culturally appropriate healthcare, community involvement, and addressing social determinants like housing and education. The goal was to reduce health disparities between Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations by working collaboratively with Aboriginal communities, respecting their culture, and ensuring access to effective health services. It aimed to empower Indigenous people to have a stronger role in managing their health and to create sustainable, community-driven health improvements.
