Canberra
In response to PM Kevin Rudd's commitment for evidence-based
policy development the CRC for Aboriginal Health recently
presented cutting-edge
Aboriginal health research directly to federal politicians,
their advisers and senior bureaucrats in Canberra.
The research
presented at the
Parliamentary Showcase included new
strategies supporting Aboriginal families and children in
the Northern
Territory; a new study
which documented the challenges faced by Aboriginal Medical Service
managers and the strategies and strengths they use to address
them; a project which has improved prevention and
management of chronic diseases across Australia; and a call for
implementation of evidence-based tobacco-control strategies in
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
The Showcase was opened by Minister for Health & Ageing, the
Hon. Nicola Roxon. To view Nicola Roxon's speech click here
