A Reach for Care reflection I am a biomedical science student examining inequity faced by the First nation people within Australia. Inequity regarding the limited access to healthcare facilities, low life expectancy and high child mortality rate faced by the Aboriginal and Torres strait islander people (ATSI) minority group when compared to the large population within Australia. The Catholic social teachings are 9 laws which are seen to be the universal foundation of humanity within society. The teachings are guidelines of how one another should be treated within society. All humans are made in the likeness and image of God therefore we should all try to embody the CST’s which are reiterated throughout the gospel. Teachings are the common good, dignity of human person, preferential option for the poor, subsidiarity, universal purpose of good, stewardship, promotion of peace, participation, and global solidarity. If all the guidelines are followed quality of life should improve for the individual and in the greater community. This written reflection of the text by Martain Schlag and Joe Evans with supplementary support by my art work “ A reach for care”, will analysis how the CST’s have been implemented within the ATSI community and could be improved for a better quality of life for First nation individuals. The first nations minority group has faced many injustices within colonial rule such as the stolen generation which is still going on till this day. This mistreatment of the ATSI community has created distrust within authority and in the systematic programs put in place by the government. Such as schooling and the healthcare system. This distrust within the healthcare system has led to higher morbidity, mortality and double the infant mortality rate, within the ATSI community, when compared to the majority Australian population. Large ATSI communities are primarily based in rural towns and camps, where access to facilities such as hospitals are limited. The Australian federal government has implemented the CST of subsidiarity, by funding local governments where ATSI communities live. Funding is directed towards informing ATSI children and mothers about access to our healthcare system and PBS. This is done under the campaign “Closing the Gap”. Which in turn increases quality of life, closing the gap between ATSI and non ATSI. This is the Australian government implementing the CST of subsidiarity by allocating funding and decision making to the local government. This relates to the quote “new Christian humanism not only meant struggling for a better world in general but consisted in social concern for the poor, the disinherited”, which is taken directly from Catholic Social Teaching: A Volume of Scholarly Essays. The “Closing the Gap”, program when initially failed due to the federal government being responsible for all the control and funding. This was a failure due to lack of understanding of the ATSI community and their distrust within the system. Within the new and improved Close the Gap campaign, participation is a key holistic factor as well as a CST which is integrated within the campaign. Participation is used to build trust within the ATSI community and ensure everyone can participate within healthcare. First nation elders are encouraged as advocates of “Closing the gap”, first nation individuals are also encouraged and given priority when seeking work within the sector. This can be as nurses, cleaners, cooks, etc all working within the hospital. This results in hospitals and health care to be seen as less alien and more familiar, making the trip to the hospital more encouraging and less daunting. This mistrust and negative stigma around our healthcare
