Inference Statement
Aboriginal or Torres Strait
Islander People
In the Inala community, the
count of indigenous people
is 4.5 % of the total
population, greater than that
of state 4.0% and country
2.8%.
Racial discrimination is one
of the driving factors that
decrease access to health
care in the indigenous
community and increase the
likelihood of poor health
outcome.
Language The percentage of the
population following the
Vietnamese language is
14.7%, significantly higher
than the state levels of 0.6%
and national level of 1.2%.
Linguistic differences are
one of the significant
barriers acting between the
community people and their
access to primary health care
services.
Unemployment The percentage of
unemployed people in the
Inala community is 11 per
cent, which is pointedly
higher than the national and
state levels.
Employment status is a
crucial social determinant of
health, which determines the
personal situation and access
to health care of an
individual.

Part B
Inala has a small community population living in an area of 6 sq. km in Brisbane city,
Queensland (Mycommunitydirectory.com.au., 2020). According to the Australian Bureau of
Statistic's 2016 Census report, the population of the Inala community was of 14,849 people,
of which, a majority (51.5%) were females and rest males. The following sections of the
paper aim at targeting one particular section from the Inala community and highlight the
significant social determinants of health in them, to develop an intervention plan and address
a particular health issue that the targeted population is at high risk.
Social Determinants
The circumstances or the situation in which a person lives works, and grows can be
deemed as the primary social determinants that influence their health. These social
determinants of health are good indicators of an individual's personal condition and include
education level, social inclusion and support levels, employment status and income (Shankar
et al., 2013).
In the Inala community, the population of the Aboriginals people, according to the
2016 census report, is significantly higher than the population of indigenous people in the
national or state level (Queensland). The major social determinants of health for this
particular community includes healthy housing, food supplies, and sanitation. It is evident
that the community has improper access to these aforementioned utilities and lack of access
to the primary health care provisions. This significantly increases the risk of the population to
poor health outcome and decreases patient safety.
The lack of access to essential utilities in the indigenous community in Inala is linked
with another social determinant of health, unemployment. Unemployment rates in this
specified community are higher than the unemployment rates in the state and national level.
Unemployment is linked to lower-income and increases the risk of physical, mental, and
