Unique knowledge, unique skills, unique role: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Workers in Queensland, Australia

Stephanie M. Topp et al.

Summary: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Workers (A&TSIHWs) are professional health workers in Australia, with core functions including health promotion, clinical service, and cultural brokerage, realizing unique value through client-centredness and Indigenous strengths. However, the role remains under-recognized and undervalued in the broader health workforce, posing potential threats to its long-term sustainability.

Summary: The Australian government aims to close the life expectancy gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians by 2031, but reports indicate that the gap is widening. Lack of genuine respect for Indigenous cultural knowledge and the failure to consider power, resources, and cultural understanding in policy making are key factors hindering progress towards this goal.
