These scenarios are inspired by the real stories and experiences of Indigenous people who generously shared their stories in order to improve the health care for all Indigenous Australians. The scenarios do not reflect any real person or their story:
Members of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities are respectfully advised that some people mentioned in writing, depicted in photographs and shown on this film may have passed away. All such references, footage and images have been included with permission by the artist and community.
Taking time to talk to patients and finding out about the whole person, their family and community. Explaining medical terms in plain language.
Stereotypes and racism assumptions leads to limited treatment or a lack of services.
The scenarios were written by Aboriginal playwright David Milroy and produced by P & M Projects and Management.
