Abstract

first Nations knowledges public health curriculum public health educators SDGs strengths and rights-based approaches
The leadership role of public health professionals in fields such as environmental health, health promotion, epidemiology and public health medicine has never been more critical. The multidimensional health effects of climate change and more recent disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have exacerbated existing global health and education inequities and undermined progress towards the 2030 United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Public health educators are responsible for shaping the knowledge, skills and qualities of their graduates, and supporting professionals from all sectors to respond to the heightened complexity and urgency of the challenges society faces. We need to do this in a dynamic environment characterised by reduced government funding, fluctuating enrolment patterns, digital transformation, the need for learners to be prepared for multiple career pathways, and a societal imperative to address both inter- and intragenerational inequity. Closing health and wellbeing outcome gaps between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities is a prevailing public health priority across Australasia.
