Aboriginal / Torres Strait Islander Health Worker and Health Practitioner Survey |
Welcome to My Survey
Survey for Aboriginal / Torres Strait Isalnder Health Workers and Health Practitioners
The Australian Diabetes Educators Association (ADEA) is aiming to help improve the access to and quality of diabetes education to Indigenous Australians. The ADEA is developing a pathway to help determine the needs of the established health workforce in Indigenous communities. The aim is to set the standards for the established health workforce in Indigenous communities to deliver quality evidence based diabetes education.
This initiative is welcomed and supported by the National Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander Health Worker Association (NATSIHWA) and Indigenous Allied Health Australia (IAHA). A collaborative approach has been undertaken in developing a pathway for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health workforce in diabetes education and management.
The Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander Health Workforce Pathway Project aims to investigate and develop an educational and professional pathway for the indigenous health workforce. The goal of the pathway is to define the knowledge and skills in diabetes that are required to deliver evidence based diabetes education within the role of AHPs and AHWs and tailored to the needs of Indigenous Australians. In the future this information could be used in reviewing and developing the content for current and future courses for health professionals in this area.
In an effort to understand what Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Workers and Health Practitioners currently do in their workplace and what is needed to develop a professional pathway in diabetes for the indigenous health workforce of AHPs and AHWs, the following questions have been developed and we would really value your help by answering them. You also have a chance to provide further comment at the end.
A Project Advisory Group has been established and the overall aim is for members to provide critical advice to ensure a culturally appropriate pathway is developed to enhance skills in diabetes education. Members of the Advisory Group reflect skills and expertise from various Indigenous educational or clinical settings including;
The AHP Pathway advisory group
NATSIHWA
IAHA
Aboriginal Medical Service
Credentialled Diabetes Educator with Indigenous health experience
Diabetes Queensland
Australian Diabetes Educator Association Members
About ADEA
The Australian Diabetes Educators Association (ADEA) was formed in 1981 and is the leading Australian organisation for health care professionals providing diabetes education and care.
The ADEA actively promotes evidenced-based best practice diabetes education to ensure optimal health and well-being for all people affected by, and at risk of, diabetes.
The ADEA accredits post graduate courses in diabetes education and management across Australia. It sets standards and develops guidelines for the practice of diabetes education. It supports diabetes educators’ delivery of quality diabetes education by offering and encouraging participation in its Credentialling and Re-Credentialling Program.
Your answers to these questions will help the working party to determine an appropriate pathway, qualification and ultimately provide professional recognition to assist health workers and health practitioners in the management and care of people with diabetes in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.Thank you for participating in our survey. Your feedback is important
