Submission to the Australian Universities Accord Discussion Paper: February 2023
2023
Abstract
The Congress of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nurses and Midwives (CATSINaM) is pleased to provide the attached submission on the Australian Universities Accord Discussion Paper: February 2023.
CATSINaM is the national peak body that represents, advocates, and supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nurses and midwives at a national level, including nurses and midwives working in the Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services sector. We are a membership-based organisation and are governed by a member elected Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Board. CATSINaM’s advocacy promotes targeted, measurable and actionable workforce solutions to increase the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nursing and midwifery workforce and to promote Cultural Safety in the education and practise of all nurses and midwives.
Universities and other higher education institutions have a primary role in strengthening the place of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, knowledges and culture in Australian society. Within an ambitious and innovative higher education policy environment, Universities can act to disrupt harmful practices impacting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in the domains of healthcare by removing access, participation, retention and completion barriers currently limiting the growth of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health workforce.
