Guiding principles

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cultural and Health Training Framework > Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander GP Training Pipeline > Guiding principles

Sovereignty and self-determination are expressed through enabling Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander doctors to be masters of their own training and career paths.

Decolonisation and Indigenisation requires breaking down the colonial structures that reinforce imposter phenomenon for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander doctors and rebuilding an image of resilience, strength and belonging.

Taking a strengths-based approach means identifying and fostering the individual and collective enablers, values and ways of being and doing, that ensure training and learning success for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander trainees.

Being culturally safe is expressed by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander trainees and GPs when they are confident their education and training has valued them as individuals, and they have not felt marginalised or disadvantaged because of their cultural identity.

It is essential that education and training for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander trainees be designed and delivered using trauma informed approaches to minimise the potential for traumatisation and perpetuation of intergenerational trauma.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander trainees have not experienced racism and discrimination or been overtly disadvantaged by the privilege of others.

Equity demands achieving at least population parity in the numbers of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander GPs in training and GP Fellows.

Any research involving Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander trainees and GPs ensures they have Indigenous data sovereignty.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander GPs are actively supported into equitable leadership roles.
