Developing culturally safe education practices in optometry schools across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand

Nicola S. Anstice et al.

Summary: Access to culturally safe health services is a basic human right, but Indigenous peoples in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand have been severely impacted by colonization, oppression, and systemic racism. Recognizing the importance of cultural competence and safety, the respective health regulatory agencies and professional boards have emphasized the need for safe healthcare for Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander, and Maori patients. This article discusses the integration of Indigenous knowledge, local histories, and cultural education modules into optometry curricula and the importance of clinical placement partnerships with Indigenous communities to improve eye health equity. Despite the progress, there is still work to be done to graduate culturally safe optometrists.
