This unit explores the safe and effective provision of health care in partnership with women and families identifying as Australian First Nations Peoples. The central focus is an exploration of the experience of motherhood, family development, and perinatal health of First Nations Peoples. Building a depth of understanding of the historical and contemporary influences on the social determinants of health including cultural and political factors and their impact on shaping Australian First Nations diverse communities will also be examined. This unit is underpinned by a strengths-based, family centred approach, as a fundamental principle of care. Students will apply principles of culturally safe practice of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander People, based on a foundation of respect for diversity and difference, addressing individual needs of the family.
