New aboriginal health website

The Department of Health and Ageing has launched a website which celebrates the real stories of real people who are working to deliver better health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. 

Do Something Real is a blog site that aims to inform those working in medicine, nursing, dentistry, allied health and public health.  The site facilitates linking to people and organisations and publishing details about the opportunities available in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health care.  Dr Ngaire Brown writes in the introduction, "We don’t need to over-think this. By sharing our knowledge, and relating to each other as members of the human race, we all have the opportunity to do something real about those ugly statistics, and perhaps change our own lives for the better at the same time."
