National #ClosetheGapDay calls for the recognition of the health disparities that exist between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous Australians. Health disparities in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples can include, but are not limited to, higher incidences of chronic diseases, respiratory conditions, mental health conditions and infectious diseases. There are numerous barriers that prevent First Nations people from accessing occupational healthcare services such as: 1. cultural barriers: traditional healing practices can often conflict with western medical practices 2. intergenerational trauma: greater mistrust of healthcare systems due to historical events 3. socioeconomic status: anticipation of impact on job security and financial stability can prevent timely access to healthcare As a leading #occupationalhealthcareprovider, Sonic HealthPlus recognises the importance of understanding barriers to quality healthcare. We acknowledge that more efforts are required within the healthcare sector to improve cultural and social competency in order to drive true change. #ClosetheGap #HarmonyWeek #HealthEquity #OccupationalHealthandSafety
