The Australian government has made efforts to address the health disparities faced by indigenous populations through various national frameworks and programs. The National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Strategy (NAHS) is a key initiative aimed at improving the health and wellbeing of these communities. The strategy focuses on social and emotional wellbeing, primary healthcare services, disease prevention, and strategic research and data analysis to inform policy and practice. The portfolio for health provided by the COAG has been instrumental in assuming responsibility for the treatment of health concerns in these communities since 1995. The overall agenda is to develop a competent workforce, focus on social and emotional wellbeing, and eliminate cultural barriers to healthcare.

The construction industry in Australia is a significant contributor to the country's economy, accounting for 8% of GDP and employing over 1.1 million people. The sector has experienced rapid growth, with commercial and residential projects increasing by 9.5% and 7.3%, respectively, in 2018. However, there are concerns about a potential downturn in the industry, which could negatively impact employment rates. To mitigate this risk, the government should focus on supporting the construction industry through initiatives that promote growth and development. Furthermore, building regulations play a crucial role in ensuring safety and sustainability in construction work, with standards such as fire resistance, services and equipment, structure adequacy, access and egress, provisions for health and amenity, and sustainability and energy efficiency being key considerations.
