when provided with awareness of broader aspects of Aboriginal people’s
lives.

Aboriginal health
• “Not just the physical well-being of the individual but the social, emotional, and cultural well-being of the whole Community in which each individual is able to achieve their full potential as a human being, thereby bringing about the total wellbeing of the community.
• It is a whole of life view and it also includes the cyclical concept of life-death-life.”
