There is a term called transcultural healthcare, whichcan be described as the way to provide culture specific care to the people, families and groups ina manner that is sensitive to the culture of the people. The indigenous people in Australia stillexperience the negative effect of racism. The constitution of Australia states that all of theindigenous people possess equal right to access all the healthcare service (Bowler, 1993). Nurses and the staffs very often face the racism in the healthcare centers. Minority nursesreported that they have faced barriers in their careers due to their race and education(Mapedzahama et al., 2012). In addition to these barriers there is also a big problem of patientracism.
