Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' History, Cultures, and Health Assessment

Purpose of assessment task:

Culturally safe care is care that is respectful of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' cultures and histories (ULO1) and acknowledges the strength and resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their cultures (ULO2). This assessment task will enable you to analyse healthcare delivery that is co- designed with and controlled by community to improve health outcomes by supporting and strengthening the diverse cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples in the healthcare context.

Topic background:

Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs) are primary healthcare services established and run by the nearby Aboriginal community. Their purpose is to provide culturally suitable, comprehensive healthcare to the community they serve. "While ACCHOs across Australia range from small services with limited staff in remote communities to large metropolitan services with hundreds of staff, there are common principles and practices that reflect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of working and that are unique to the ACCHO sector." (CREATE, 2020). In this assessment, you will review the report "Characteristics of ACCHO Comprehensive Primary Health Care Service Delivery" and explore the ways of working used by ACCHOs that promote culturally safe care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.

Assignment Questions:

Question 1. Define cultural safety and describe three benefits of culturally safe care (approx. 1000 words)

Question 2. Describe two characteristics of the ACCHOs outlined below and explain how each characteristic supports the delivery of culturally safe care (approx. 500 words each)

The CREATE report outlines ten characteristics of ACCHOs that reflect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of working, including those listed below. You are asked to choose two (2) of the below characteristics to answer assignment question two:
• Community control and community participation
• Accessible health services
• Flexible and responsive approach to care
• Relationship building and advocacy

Presentation requirements:

The School of Nursing and Midwifery follows the American Psychological Association (APA) 7th edition referencing style. Presentation requirements of this referencing style are outlined below. For further detail regarding APA 7 referencing style refer to Referencing.
