Question 2: Primary health services and care interventions offered by the ACCHS are different than those by a GP. First, while maintaining cultural safety, ACCHS health and care services are inexpensive as compared to general practitioner's services, hindering holistic care of the ATSI community. However, interventions provided by ACCHS offer greater health benefits than GP services. Hence, medical services offered by GPs are not controlled by the community, lacking in relevance to the people of that community. On the other hand, ACCHS are directly a part of NACCHO, which aims to provide holistic and culturally safe medical services and interventions to the Aboriginals and Strait Islander people, along with effective and comprehensive medical services(Nyanga et al., 2018). Question 3: While working with ATSIWHs, nurses need to consider factors such as transcultural culture and cultural diversity, respect and cultural security(Topp, Edelman & Taylor, 2018). Different kinds of nursing interventions and medical practices need to be culturally competent that specifically engages with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. Additionally, nurses must focus on cultural safety for its relevance to ATSIHWs and make the community feel that they are being listened and paid attention to. Question 4: Self-determination is a fundamental right that must be facilitated in indigenous groups that experience inadequacy of health and well-being services(Yaffe, 2018). In this aspect, the ACCHS is determined to improve the social and cultural development of the community by combating the community’s medical disadvantage. ATSIHWs are determined to make medical services and nursing interventions more culturally relevant for the ATSI community, by focusing on practices that help the community overcome disadvantages and challenges in acquiring medical services. Cultural safety for the Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islander people ensures that the cultural influence and practices of the community are well preserved while emphasizing on holistic care approaches for improving the overallwell-being of the community.
