Acknowledgment
The RACP would like to thank all those who contributed to the development of this strategic framework; the RACP members involved and external Indigenous leaders and organisations who gave generously of both their time and their expertise.
In particular, we acknowledge and are grateful for the leadership and commitment of the RACP’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Committee and Māori Health Committee members. Their guidance, hard work and enthusiasm is pivotal to the RACP’s work to contribute to improved health and equity for Australia and New Zealand’s Indigenous peoples, and in growing and supporting the Indigenous medical workforce.
