This unit examines the historical and contemporary social determinants of Indigenous wellbeing. Through an exploration of holistic Indigenous health and wellbeing frameworks, students identify a range of successful strategies that facilitate self-determination and transform Indigenous health and wellbeing outcomes. A highlight of this unit of study is the opportunity to learn from Indigenous and non-Indigenous people who are passionate about their work and experienced in collaborating with Indigenous people and communities.
