This is the first national survey of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health staff across all professions, roles and locations, to better understand the development needs and career pathways within the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health workforce.

This Evidence Check was commissioned by the NSW Ministry of Health to provide a summary of evidence from Australia and other countries related to the effectiveness and appropriateness of community-based psychosocial support services and programs for refugees and asylum seekers.

The Returning Home Back to Community from Custodial Care (RHCCC) pilot project was designed to build an improved understanding of the most appropriate model of care that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women can expect from community-based service providers who are focused on improving their health outcomes, especially those related to mental health.
