Abstract

This chapter provides limited insight into the variety of allied health issues,
professional services, and programs around Indigenous health. These problems
faced in these areas include hearing loss, eye infections and loss of vision, the
impact of dental caries and associated oral problems, childbirth and infant
health supports. The wide range of professions and services include: dentists,
chiropractors, dietitians, physiologists, occupational therapists, pharmacists,
audiologists, podiatrists, psychologists, radiographers, speech pathologists,
diabetes educators, social workers, Aboriginal or Indigenous Health Workers
(AHWIIHW) (like AMS, this includes Torres Strait Islander health workers) and
Indigenous Mental Health Workers (IMHW) etc. Each group has a part to play in
providing good health care to Indigenous Australians.
