Real change in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health and well-being will only happen when it’s #IndigenousLedResearch

[Lowitja Institute @LowitjaInstitut]

We call on government to invest in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander-led research; a National Anti-Racism Framework & a Health Research Ethics Committee –together we can tackle systemic racism. #IndigenousLedResearch #RacismInHealth #AusVotes2022 https://t.co/f02Pzh1J2H

In the lead-up to the 2022 Federal Election, we’re calling on the incoming Australian Government & Federal Parliament to prioritise the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

Woke up this morning feeling very blessed to be disabled - I reckon my parents are pretty happy about it too.

Feeling sorry for us and our families doesn’t help. Treating us equally, and giving us the choice and control over our own lives does

@K_Blackford_ @JaneAllyTay Love this Krit! Wish there was more of this back in our early student days.

[Kelly Blackburn @kelblacki]

Well overdue - YES!

Today is #WorldHealthDay. Here in Australia, there continue to be vast inequalities in health and life expectancy between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and other Australians.

How can we close the health gap if the funding gap persists? #ClosetheHealthGap

This document is a must read for anyone working in research. Let’s get Aboriginal data back in Aboriginal hands.

Could no agree more @terryslevin!

[Terry Slevin @terryslevin]

It may sound a little perverse, but there seem to be some prospect of genuine public health benefits out of #covidaus

A question is, will we be able to identify them and then sustain them ?

The surprising positives about COVID https://t.co/hXqrGhT1Hb via @wordpressdotcom

[#LeadOnNCDs @WePublicHealth]

No vaccine and no cure. So here's what we need to KEEP doing:

"...we stop it spreading is by limiting its opportunities to move between us...That's what we are doing now...the community took leadership in this..."

[Terry Slevin @terryslevin]

Smoking should not be seen as "one of their few remaining pleasures"

Our most vulnerable - be they
Homeless,
with mental health issues or
Drug and alcohol probs

deserve good physical health - clean lungs !

So offering them help to quit -

like any other smokers

is VITAL
