Abstract:

Performance indicators, which are simply variables that help to measure change, have been highly contentious in the area of Aboriginal health.

Aboriginal health and institutional reform within Australian federalism

Ian Anderson and William Sanders

Discussion Paper 117 / 1996

Abstract:

This paper examines relationships between institutional reform within Australian federalism and Aboriginal health, both historically and in prospect. It begins with a brief historical analysis of government involvement in the general health arena within Australian federalism. It then provides a more extended historical account of government involvement in Aboriginal health and the emergence in the last 25 years of a group of important non-government players, the Aboriginal community-controlled health services.
