Book excerpt: A 2003 report by the Steering Committee for the Review of Government Service Provision confirmed the chronic state of Indigenous social and economic disadvantage. The terms of reference of the current inquiry required the Standing Committee on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs to inquire into and report on strategies to assist Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders to better manage the delivery of services within their communities. In particular, the Committee was instructed to consider building the capacities of: a) community members to better support families, community organisations and representative councils so as to deliver the best outcomes for individuals, families, and communities; b) Indigenous organisations to better deliver and influence the delivery of services in the most effective, efficient and accountable way; and c) government agencies so that policy direction and management structures will improve individual and community outcomes for Indigenous people.

Download or read book Outcome Measurement in Mental Health written by Tom Trauer and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-06-24 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to operate in an evidence-based fashion, mental health services rely on accurate, relevant, and systematic information. One important type of information is the nature of the problems experienced by recipients of mental health care, and how these problems change over the course of time. Outcome measurement involves the systematic, repeated assessment of aspects of health and illness, either by service providers, service recipients, or both. From outcome measurement clinicians and service recipients achieve a common language whereby they can plan treatment and track progress, team leaders and managers secure a basis to compare their services with others and to promote quality, while policy makers and funders derive evidence of effectiveness. This book will be an essential and practical resource for all members of the mental health clinical team as well as those responsible for establishing or managing services, and directing policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This rapid review examines the international evidence on culturally competent maternity services for Indigenous communities. It investigates the components of maternity service delivery models; effective models; and the barriers and facilitators of the successful implementation and sustainability of these models. 'Birthing on Country' service delivery models are defined as being culturally competent and improving health outcomes, and are largely community based and governed; incorporate traditional practices; involve a connection with land and country; incorporate a holistic definition of health; value Indigenous and non-Indigenous ways of knowing and learning; and developed by, or with, Indigenous people. The review studied research from Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States, as action component 2.2.3 of the National Maternity Services Plan of 2010.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Indigenous Sociology written by Maggie Walter and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous sociology makes visible what is meaningful in the Indigenous social world. This core premise is demonstrated here via the use of the concept of the Indigenous Lifeworld in reference to the dispossessed Indigenous Peoples from Anglo-colonized first world nations. Indigenous lifeworld is built around dual intersubjectivities: within peoplehood, inclusive of traditional and ongoing culture, belief systems, practices, identity, and ways of understanding the world; and within colonized realties as marginalized peoples whose everyday life is framed through their historical and ongoing relationship with the colonizer nation state. The Oxford Handbook of Indigenous Sociology is, in part, a response to the limited space allowed for Indigenous Peoples within the discipline of sociology. The very small existing sociological literature locates the Indigenous within the non-Indigenous gaze and the Eurocentric structures of the discipline reflect a continuing reluctance to actively recognize Indigenous realities within the key social forces literature of class, gender, and race at the discipline's center. But the ambition of this volume, its editors, and its contributors is larger than a challenge to this status quo. They do not speak back to sociology, but rather, claim their own sociological space. The starting point is to situate Indigenous sociology as sociology by Indigenous sociologists. The authors in The Oxford Handbook of Indigenous Sociology, all leading and emerging Indigenous scholars, provide an authoritative, state of the art survey of Indigenous sociological thinking. The contributions in this Handbook demonstrate that the Indigenous sociological voice is a not a version of the existing sub-fields but a new sociological paradigm that uses a distinctively Indigenous methodological approach.

Download or read book Social Indicators for Aboriginal Governance written by John Taylor and published by ANU E Press. This book was released on 2004-10-01 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Council of Australian Governments is trialing Indigenous Community Coordination Pilot schemes around the country aimed at fostering whole-of-government approaches to service delivery and development. A notable example is in the Thamarrurr region of the Northern Territory focused on the Aboriginal town of Wadeye and its hinterland. Under new governance arrangements the Thamarrurr Regional Council has identified a need to profile existing social and economic conditions as a basis for its current planning and future evaluation. This study provides an innovative template for such profiling. With substantial input from local people it uncovers a region of high population growth with major challenges in areas of employment, income, education and training, housing and infrastructure, health status and criminal justice. It yields a baseline of available data to assist discussions of regional needs, aspirations and development capacities. By using population projections, it shifts government and community thinking away from reactive responses to historic need, to a more pro-active future-oriented approach to development. The Thamarrurr people view this document as an important planning tool for their people. Their aim is to have the same access to services and opportunities as other Australians. “Give every kid a chance” is their catch cry. This study lays out what is required from governments and the community to achieve that vision.
Download or read book Barhava Report written by and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report demonstrates how Indigenous programs that are strengths-based, designed with and led by the community, and most importantly put Indigenous peoples at the centre, are more likely to close the gap and deliver tangible and transformative impact on communities as a whole. Following our review of existing reports and studies, alongside many discussions with community members, parents, community groups, Indi Kindi staff members, and expert health and early childhood professionals, it is apparent that Indi Kindi delivers many benefits. Indi Kindi has had, and will continue to deliver, considerable health, education, and community impacts. Its holistic approach, delivered in a culturally relevant framework with the aid of local knowledge and local languages, is helping to tackle entrenched inequalities in school readiness and health outcomes for Indigenous children. There are many barriers to providing effective service delivery in remote and disadvantaged communities like Borroloola and Robinson River in Northern Territory. Indi Kindi has worked hard within the community to overcome obstacles, such as socio-economic, cultural, and historical challenges, as well as intergenerational trauma and the disruptions caused by crises. The report clearly shows that, if given the opportunity and resources to work closely with other Indigenous communities to scale and expand its operations, the benefits delivered by Indi Kindi could be exponential.

Download or read book Water and Sanitation Services written by Weltbankgruppe and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous peoples in Latin American and the Caribbean (LAC) are 10 to 25 percent less likely to have access to piped water and 26 percent less likely to have access to improved sanitation solutions than the region's non-indigenous population. Historically, Indigenous peoples have been marginalized from the development process in their own countries and still suffer discrimination from the mainstream societies today. Oftentimes, Indigenous territories are overlooked or avoided by Water Supply and Sanitation (WSS) project planners and proponents given their lack of understanding of how to engage or carry out projects in collective or semi-autonomous Indigenous territories, the remoteness of these areas, and the high associated per capita cost of a potential operation, among other reasons. The significant gap in Indigenous peoples' access to WSS services, a basic human right that is closely linked to economic and social wellbeing, alongside the lack of established tools in the sector to guide engagement in Indigenous territories, motivated the creation of this Toolkit. The objective of the Toolkit is to provide practical guidance and operational tools to improve the inclusion of, engagement with, and delivery of sustainable WSS services to Indigenous peoples in LAC in order to permanently close the WSS service gap. The Toolkit summarizes the findings of interviews, consultations, and field visits carried out by a multi-sector, multi-national World Bank Team in 37 Indigenous communities located in urban, peri-urban and rural areas in seven LAC countries where the World Bank or other development actors had implemented WSS projects with Indigenous peoples.
