Abstract: | Inequities persist for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people accessing health services in Australia, as evidenced by kidney health outcomes and the consistently lower rate of access to kidney transplantation experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.1 The Australian Government has endeavoured to address this persisting inequity in access to kidney transplantation by establishing the National Indigenous Kidney Transplantation Taskforce (NIKTT), and tasking them to evaluate cultural bias interventions in Australia, with a focus on kidney services. The NIKTT’s objective was to develop recommendations for best practice care and support that would enable health services to provide more culturally safe care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. In this article, we highlight the main findings and recommendations from the Cultural bias Indigenous kidney care and kidney transplantation report. 2 We reflect on the resulting recommendations and highlight key elements that the NIKTT anticipates could substantially improve the cultural safety of kidney care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across Australia. |
