Abstract:

The Bunya Project thesis explores the integration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' perspectives into healthcare education, aiming to bridge the gap between policy rhetoric and actionable strategies. Through collaborating with Indigenous healthcare providers, the Bunya Project seeks to embed Indigenous leadership and perspectives into healthcare curricula to enhance staff and student awareness of self, and the intersectionality of Indigenous experiences and health outcomes, to promote health equity. It utilises participatory action research grounded in Indigenous epistemologies, the project celebrates Indigenous expertise and advocates for community-led teaching and learning. The thesis unfolds through literature reviews, methodological outlines, findings from qualitative and quantitative data, and discussions on the potential impact and future directions. It emphasises the importance of Indigenous leadership, cultural safety, and inclusive education to improve healthcare outcomes and address systemic challenges in tertiary healthcare education, calling for ongoing research and community engagement to sustain progress.
