Reviews for Health Care and Indigenous Australians: Cultural safety in practice

This is a great introduction to many of the challenging historical and contemporary issues that student and practicing healthcare professionals must be aware of to enable provision of culturally competent and safe care for Indigenous Australians. I recommend it to my students, and for the ones that have it as a prescribed text, I tell them they cannot study in my Unit without it! * Dr Liz Rix, Southern Cross University, Australia * It explains the core issues for nurses working with Indigenous people in Australia today. Well written, accessible and well informed, I find it accessible and easy to connect with. * Janet Kelly, Adelaide School of Nursing, University of Adelaide, Australia *
