Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Injury Prevention Action Committee

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Injury Prevention Workshop

ATSIIPAC arranged for the key findings of the draft report of the above project to be presented at the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Injury Prevention Workshop. The Workshop was held as part of the 6th National Conference on Injury Prevention and Control, in Perth on 18 March 2003.

The purpose of the Workshop was to present key findings from the Indigenous Injury Prevention Activity Project and to form part of the consultation process in the development of the National Indigenous Injury Prevention Plan. The Workshop was an ideal opportunity to present an overview of the draft report in a receptive forum to members of the Indigenous and injury communities and other key stakeholders.

Mr Tim Agius facilitated the Workshop and has submitted a summary report of the Workshop’s proceedings. This includes the issues that were raised for discussion as the key findings from the Activity Project and also the underlying principles of the National Strategic Framework for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health 2002.

The report also includes the slide show presentations conducted by:

• Dr Kathy Clapham and Mr Jerry Moller provided on the current status of activity in Indigenous injury prevention in Australia;

• Ms Pam Albany of NSW Health on the draft NSW Health Aboriginal Safety Promotion Strategy; and

• Associate Professor Ted Wilkes, the Chair of the National Drug Strategy Reference Group for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, on the complementary action plan to address Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander substance misuse.
