NUR1204 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health is one of eight, first year, foundation courses in the Bachelor of Nursing Program.

The outstanding life differentials between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and non-Indigenous Australians remains at an unacceptable level. The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council (ANMAC) have mandated that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people鈥檚 health be incorporated in all nursing programs to support and inform the future nursing workforce of the many complexities that have and continue to inform First Nations health today. Further, this course is underpinned by the Nursing and Midwifery Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Curriculum Framework (2017) to ensure nurses are appropriately prepared to work in partnership with First Nations peoples.

As per the BNSG Program Rules, students are required to attempt and submit all assessment items in a course. This program rule forms part of the UniSQ accreditation agreement with the Australian Nursing & Midwifery Council [ANMAC].

An understanding of the social and cultural determinants of health and the impacts of historical Acts and contemporary policies and their influence on First Nations Australians is essential in providing culturally safe health care with and for First Nations peoples. This course utilises cultural safety and contextual knowledge and skills to model contemporary health care delivery in Australia. It emphasises the contemporary nurse as a foundational member of the health partnership who is necessary in enhancing First Nations people's social and emotional wellbeing. It values the role of First Nations Australians in self-determining processes and leadership in health and research.
