Course description

The disparities between health and educational outcomes for Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians are well documented. The health and education sectors, in all of their complexities, are developing and implementing strategies to contribute to the Federal Government¿s commitment to 'Close the Gap'. Preparing and training graduates to work in the sport, exercise, education and nutrition sectors is recognised as one important component of meeting the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and reducing the disparities in health and educational outcomes in Australia. This course will make a contribution by creating culturally aware, knowledgeable and sensitive health and education professionals that have the capacity to competently work with Indigenous people.
