There are immense evidence that can prove that national targets or regional targets set are not met due to poorly existing health standards.

As ATSIC has access to first hand data for the Indigenous people, they will be better able to cater to all needs and demands of the Islander Strait people[ CITATION Bau07 \l 1033 ]. This program will identify all relevant opportunity to work towards specific policy, planning and program delivery in connection to Indigenous people.

Investment into infrastructure and necessary provisions for creating health related awareness can lead to effectiveness in health care, providing higher standards in the region. 2.0 Epidemiology presented to justify an unmet local public health neededAboriginal and Islander Torres Strait people had been lagging behind in health standards significantly.
