Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Resources

In recognition of National Reconciliation Week 27 May to 3 June 2012 we have decided to highlight some of the best resources on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health available in the University Library and beyond.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Subject Guide

Your guide to key journals, reports and books available at the Library.

Library Databases

Look at ATSIhealth for targeted Health Information. There are also links to more general Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander resources covering the areas of education, sociology, current affairs, law, census data and more.

Multimedia Resources

Byalawa (also held in the Health Sciences Library on DVD)

The Byalawa resources are research-based multimedia learning and teaching resources designed to facilitate the acquisition of appropriate, culturally safe interviewing and case history taking skills in health profession students. The DVD scenarios are designed to be used in a range of situations and show speech pathology, physiotherapy, pharmacy, psychology, and occupational therapy initial interviews with indigenous patients in a range of urban settings. The Byalawa Team included health academics and clinicians from The University of Sydney and James Cook University.

Kanyini available as a streaming video from the library  (only available to current staff and students via UniKey) or available on DVD at the Health Sciences Library

A traditional owner of the Uluru lands, and former Indigenious Person of the year (1999), Uncle Bob speaks of these lands and his people. Based on his own personal journey and the wisdom he learnt from the old people living in the bush, Uncle Bob explains why indigenous people are now struggling in a modern world and what needs to be done from them to move forward.
