Overview
Education programs and its policies for aboriginal people should be implemented in accordance with the needs and requirements of those people. There are major four key factors that can have strong impact on communities such as continuous evidence based education for Indigenous people, use of linguistic language in numerous policy booklets and outlines, redefining society consultation from Indigenous positions and properly resourcing Native community commitment ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"Aq8FbVKu","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Dutton et al., 2016)","plainCitation":"(Dutton et al., 2016)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":90,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/Hznayqvz/items/VI8D5B96"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/Hznayqvz/items/VI8D5B96"],"itemData":{"id":90,"type":"article-journal","title":"Health assessments for Indigenous Australians at Orange Aboriginal Medical Service: health problems identified and subsequent follow up","container-title":"Australian Journal of Primary Health","page":"233-238","volume":"22","issue":"3","author":[{"family":"Dutton","given":"Tegan"},{"family":"Stevens","given":"Wendy"},{"family":"Newman","given":"Jamie"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2016"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Dutton et al., 2016). Changes in higher education for Australian Indigenous people can significantly improve pathways for these people to get education and join universities.
Community consultation and engagement is a procedure by which the ambitions, concerns, requirements and standards of peoples and societies are combined at all stages and in various subdivisions. These subdivisions include program improvement, development, decision-making, facility distribution and valuation; and through which administration and related industry and civil community governments encompass people, consumers, societies and other shareholders in these procedures.
Indigenous society engagement and consultation is important in a variety of settings in state as well as at global level. This, however is not restricted to Indigenous people’s well-being, education, management and accommodation subdivisions ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"f9H3H99S","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Dutton et al., 2016)","plainCitation":"(Dutton et al., 2016)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":90,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/Hznayqvz/items/VI8D5B96"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/Hznayqvz/items/VI8D5B96"],"itemData":{"id":90,"type":"article-journal","title":"Health assessments for Indigenous Australians at Orange Aboriginal Medical Service: health problems identified and subsequent follow up","container-title":"Australian Journal of Primary Health","page":"233-238","volume":"22","issue":"3","author":[{"family":"Dutton","given":"Tegan"},{"family":"Stevens","given":"Wendy"},{"family":"Newman","given":"Jamie"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2016"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Dutton et al., 2016). Various researches have shown that number of students getting higher education in universities particularly health education from indigenous societies is not satisfactory. This statement represents that university level higher education is a problem for indigenous societies. Helping and assisting these societies and communities is significantly important as various studies have revealed that major communicable disease are more common among these individuals and lack of awareness is the major factor behind it. National Collaborating Centre for Determinants of Health state that identifying the influence of consultation in education systems and healthcare systems is significant. This has an important comportment on the system, Indigenous and non-Indigenous individuals interrelate and interchange information inside community consultation and engagement procedures ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"kMMeO9hG","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Freeman and Staley, 2018)","plainCitation":"(Freeman and Staley, 2018)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":91,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/Hznayqvz/items/PWMYA8SA"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/Hznayqvz/items/PWMYA8SA"],"itemData":{"id":91,"type":"article-journal","title":"The positioning of Aboriginal students and their languages within Australia’s education system: A human rights perspective","container-title":"International journal of speech-language pathology","page":"174-181","volume":"20","issue":"1","author":[{"family":"Freeman","given":"Leonard A."},{"family":"Staley","given":"Bea"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2018"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Freeman and Staley, 2018).
