Medicare policy changes to primary health care funding for Australia's indigenous Peoples 1996-2023: a scoping review.

Background: The Australian Government began implementing Medicare policies in the late 1990s aiming to improve Indigenous Peoples' access to the primary care. No aggregate central list of what policies have been implemented exists. The aim of this review was twofold: first to perform a scoping review to identify any literature mentioning a policy implemented between 1996 and 2023 regarding Indigenous Peoples' access to Medicare or the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme for primary care, and secondly to synthesise and describe any policies to enable learning from past successes and failures.

Healing the Past by Nurturing the Future: trauma-aware, healing-informed care to improve support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families - implementation and evaluation study protocol.

Introduction: Complex trauma can have serious impacts on the health and well-being of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families. The perinatal period represents a 'critical window' for recovery and transforming cycles of trauma into cycles of healing. The Healing the Past by Nurturing the Future (HPNF) project aims to implement and evaluate a programme of strategies to improve support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander families experiencing complex trauma.

Cost-benefit analysis of ecosystem modeling to support fisheries management.

Mathematical and statistical models underlie many of the world's most important fisheries management decisions. Since the 19th century, difficulty calibrating and fitting such models has been used to justify the selection of simple, stationary, single-species models to aid tactical fisheries management decisions. Whereas these justifications are reasonable, it is imperative that we quantify the value of different levels of model complexity for supporting fisheries management, especially given a changing climate, where old methodologies may no longer perform as well as in the past.
