Now in its fourth edition, this core textbook offers a comprehensive framework for creating a culturally safe environment and enhancing health outcomes for Indigenous Australians. Through case studies, discussions, reflections and critiques of health issues in Australia today, Health Care and Indigenous Australians offers a starting point for learning about cultural safety in an Indigenous health context, and is essential for students, academics and practitioners alike.

- Incorporates a strengths-based approach to working with and talking about Indigenous health.
- Discussion of intergenerational trauma.

- Expanded discussion on the continuum of cultural safety.
- Discussion on the nuances of reflective and reflexive practice.
- Updated research, referencing, policy and statistics.
- A focus on decolonisation throughout and how colonialism can impact practice.
- New case studies and scenarios.
This is key reading for anyone taking Indigenous health modules on nursing, midwifery and health related courses at undergraduate or postgraduate level, as well practitioners and academics.
