The Indigenous Health major provides in-depth knowledge and skills related to key aspects of public health practice in Indigenous populations: health promotion; policy and services. Units of study are devoted to some of the specific health issues that are important to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. The Indigenous Health major will equip a graduate to work with Indigenous organisations, and also in a range of mainstream settings where their motivation and awareness of issues and practice will promote improved engagement of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Students interested in seeking further knowledge and skills in this area may complete an extra Honours year and/or seek enrolment in a postgraduate professional degree program is areas such as public health or community services.
