This report investigates the detrimental effects of colonisation on the health of Aboriginal Australians. It begins with an introduction to the historical context of colonisation in Australia, highlighting the dispossession of Aboriginal land and its impact on their communities. The main body of the report delves into the health disparities faced by Aboriginal people, particularly focusing on eye-related problems, which are more prevalent among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations due to factors such as genetics, UV exposure, and limited access to healthcare. The report also discusses the increased prevalence of communicable diseases and the unequal access to healthcare facilities caused by colonisation. Furthermore, it emphasizes the crucial role of healthcare professionals in addressing these issues and the failure of health interventions to achieve desired outcomes. The report concludes by summarizing the negative consequences of colonisation on Aboriginal health, underscoring the need for improved healthcare access and culturally sensitive interventions to address the health disparities faced by Aboriginal communities. The report references several books and journals to support its findings.
