The National Rural Health Alliance, a peak body for rural health in Australia, is calling for the National Cabinet to make addressing racism against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples a priority.<\/p>\n

The call comes as Black Lives Matters protests across the country have shone a spotlight on racism, racial profiling, Indigenous incarceration rates and deaths in custody.<\/p>\n

\u201cImproving health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people must start with combating racism and racial discrimination,\u201d NHRA CEO Dr Gabrielle O\u2019Kane said.<\/p>\n

“According to the Lowitja Institute, they include the direct health impacts of racism, such as racially motivated assault and the contribution to mental ill health, but also unequal access to medical care and the societal resources required for good health such as employment and housing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Black Lives Matters protests in recent days are a stark reminder that structural racism and racial prejudice are key determinants of health, and often contribute to poorer health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people \u2013 many of whom live in rural, regional and remote Australia.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new National Cabinet, which will replace COAG, is best placed to address these issues.<\/p>\n

“Tackling racism requires a serious policy response from the very highest level, and also co-ordination between the Australian Government and the States and Territories.”<\/p>\n

The NHRA represents 44\u00a0national organisations working to improve the health of people in rural and remote Australia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
