Examining Social Equity and the Social Determinate’s of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health

“….a must for anyone wishing to embark on meaningful Indigenous health practice”.

The Aunty DOT program – Continuity of Attendance and Continuity of Healing the Key to Closing the Gap

Australian, State and Territory Governments along with Non-Government Organisations struggle with Closing the Gap because all the programs and initiatives to Close the Gap are predicated on Continuity of Attendance and Continuity of Healing to achieve program outcomes.

The Poverty Cycle however, does not allow Continuity of Attendance and Continuity of Healing and because it does not allow Continuity of Attendance and Continuity of Healing the Gap does not close.

The Aunty DOT program explains why and how the poverty cycle stops Continuity of Attendance and Continuity of Healing and puts forward for meaningful, constructive discussion and analysis, solutions to address the issue. Based on learnings from 3 community initiatives, the course is essential when wanting to understand why the Gap is not Closing and what can be done.

About Your Expert Presenter

Damien Loizou Is The Principal Of Walya Productions And Is Your Expert Presenter For The Walya Productions MBA CPD Program Level Cultural Safe Practice Course.

“

Walya is a deeply authentic and personal account of how the poverty cycle drives Indigenous inequity – health and wellbeing, social, educational. Through the lens of his own family, Damien explains how this cycle needs to be clearly understood and addressed. Over decades of practice in the Northern Territory I have witnessed many healthcare workers come and go, and it appeared to me that most focused on the biomedical model and all to often missed the point – if you’re too poor to eat, you won’t value tablets to lower your cholesterol or treat your sugars. Walya is an very impressive articulation of the roots of this problem, a must for anyone wishing to embark on meaningful Indigenous health practice.

I highly recommend Walya productions Course 1 Cultural Awareness and Course 2 Community Equity. Course 1 paces the learner through the incredible ingenuity and core concepts of a rich, thriving and sophisticated Aboriginal culture, especially brought to life by sharing Damien's own family history experience. I've done other courses and stepped away from these with new knowledge and and significant awakenings. I would highly recommend these courses. The second course is particularly relevant for understanding health care concepts and how external factors perpetuating the poverty cycle and sociopolitical structures of racism has created a phenomenon which started 235 years ago and was not part of aboriginal culture or lived experience prior to British colonisation. The second course builds from course 1 but also stands alone. A Brilliantly thoughtful course!
