Seminar recording
Seminar overview
The Partnership for Justice in Health (P4JH) works to improve Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health and justice outcomes through addressing racism at individual, institutional and systemic levels. Still, too many names speak tragically to the injustice experienced in health and correctional systems by our people, and the urgent need for culturally safe systems and a true focus on the cultural determinants of health.
