Cultural safety in healthcare

The provision of culturally safe care is essential to closing the gap in health inequalities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

As a practitioner, you have a responsibility to be culturally responsive and to understand Australia’s history and the ongoing impact of colonisation on the health outcomes of First Nations communities.

To support you on this lifelong journey, the Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet offers a list of useful resources and links to interesting articles for dental practitioners. These resources will help you strengthen your knowledge and make a meaningful difference in your practice. We strongly encourage you to access and read these materials as you progress through the ADC assessment process.
