Acknowledgment
The College would like to thank those who contributed to the development of the Indigenous 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 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Committee and Māori Health Committee members. The guidance, hard work and enthusiasm of these Committees is pivotal to the College’s work to contribute to improve Indigenous health equity, and in growing the Indigenous physician workforce.
