Conclusion
Having finished your research you should now have gained initial knowledge of the health status of Australians and be able to describe how the health status of the indigenous community compares with the wider Australian community. In addition you should now have greater awareness of the role of governments in maintaining and promoting the health status of Indigenous Australians. It is expected that you will now be able to successfully complete the knowledge hunt on Aboriginal Health.
