Abstract
In the recent times, due to sustained racism, violation of human rights and neglect fro, the
side of government authority resulted into disparities among the health of individuals. Hence,
with the aim to reduce the gap which takes place in the health and well-being of indigenous and
non-indigenous people several campaigns were organized by government authority. In this, with
the motive to review the effectiveness and cultural competency of workplace designed
investigation has been conducted by the group of people. Thus, in the present study, group of
people has reviewed Sydney Local Health District Aboriginal Workforce Action Plan 2016-18.
In this, REM framework referred by Faculty of Health has been considered by group to assess or
evaluate the adequacy of an action plan. Such plan is related to indigenous employment program

suitable view regarding the research topic or area. Thus, by making analysis of several articles,
books and journals related to the health aspect of indigenous people data has been gathered by

between the indigenous as well as non-indigenous people regarding employment and health
aspect. Group assessment shows that through the means of shared vision change can be
implemented within the firm.

engagement from the side of stakeholders. In addition to this, SHLD has facilitated strong
consultation with Aboriginal employees and senior representatives. Such engagement level is
vital for attaining success which in turn helps in creating highly effectual or supportive culture.
In addition to this, some barriers have assessed by SHLD that directly affects the employment
aspect of Aboriginal employees. Such barriers include lower level of education, training, lack of
transport, financial constraints, housing and work readiness. Hence, for the effectual
development and implementation it is highly required to remove all such barriers.

employees can be developed. In addition to this, by providing scholarships, traineeships etc
improvements can be made in targeted areas. Part of weaknesses part include that there is no
information available regarding the manner in which calendars will be circulated. Besides this,

government authority lays high level of emphasis on discussing the aspects with the people of
Aboriginal communities. On the other side, in SHLD no focus has been made on such aspect
which in turn also affects outcome to the significant level.
