This case study analyzes the Diabetes Action Plan in Australia, focusing on integrating equity into health strategies for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations. It employs the EQUITY SPA framework to examine the plan's strategies, question its beneficiaries, and understand the barriers to equitable healthcare access. The analysis highlights the social determinants of health, including material circumstances, psychosocial behavior, health systems, and social cohesion, and interrelates these factors with the SPA's key stages. The study identifies language, cultural, trust, infrastructure, and socio-economic barriers, proposing solutions such as community-based alliances, educational programs, and family partnership interventions. The report emphasizes the importance of addressing these barriers to improve health outcomes and reduce health disparities within the indigenous community. The study highlights the importance of early engagement, community participation, and culturally fit diabetes prevention strategies. The study also focuses on the role of government programs like Indigenous Australian’s Health Programme, and Action Plans pertaining to different heath plans to reduce health gap. The study concludes by providing a summary of the social determinants of health for the aboriginals and Torres Strait Islander people.
