Health services for aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in remote Australia: A scoping review.
PLOS Glob Public Health
February 2023
University of Sydney, Faculty of Medicine and Health, Sydney, Australia.
In Australia, there is a significant gap between health outcomes in Indigenous and non-Indigenous children, which may relate to inequity in health service provision, particularly in remote areas. The aim was to conduct a scoping review to identify publications in the academic and grey literature and describe 1) Existing health services for Indigenous children in remote Australia and service use, 2) Workforce challenges in remote settings, 3) Characteristics of an effective health service, and 4) Models of care and solutions. Electronic databases of medical/health literature were searched (Jan 1990 to May 2021).
