Indigenous Health

The Indigenous Health Portfolio welcomes the health community to be part of a rapidly growing area of rural and remote Australian health.  The Indigenous Health Portfolio's purpose is to service the needs of students with an interest in Indigenous health as well as to foster and facilitate future Indigenous and non-Indigenous health professionals in to rural Australia.  The Portfolio's involvement ranges from involvement with Indigenous Festivals held around the country, such as Vibe Alive to cultural awareness information and training.  The Portfolio invites anyone who is interested in Indigenous health issues or who has a desire to be involved with Indigenous projects and events to please contact or send any questions or suggestions to the Indigenous Health team via email.  We would love to hear from you.

AIMED

AIMED is an Australian medical student research and elective opportunities website specific to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health, set up by RUSTICA member, Marion Davies.  AIMED is the only Australian database specific to Indigenous health.  AIMED may be accessed by all Australian medical students. 

The AIMED website is currently being re-developed, but we are currently wanting people to submit their Indigenous placement experiences that will be added to the website by clicking here. 

For more information about what the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander portfolio has been up to check out the Indigenous pages of the NRHSN website.
