Broaden the knowledge of health professionals and other interested students on a wide range of aspects informing the provision of palliative care for Indigenous Australians (or first nation communities of the countries from which students come). This includes knowledge of the broad cultural issues, the impact of cumulative loss and transgenerational grief and the health profile of Indigenous peoples on palliative care service delivery and will be achieved through:

·         exploration of the health profile of Indigenous peoples including mortality, morbidity, epidemiology of Indigenous health issues and social determinants of               health

·         facilitating networking with the local Indigenous community and/or Indigenous health service workers.

The applicant must be a registered health care professional: doctor, nurse or allied health professional.  Also appropriate clinical experience in indigenous end of life care is essential.  Generally our tutors and teachers hold a Master’s Degree, however, for this topic it is vital we have a teacher with appropriate clinical experience and so we may waiver the requirement of Master’s academic qualifications in order to provide relevant and specific guidance to our students.  Time commitment is 1 hour per week semester 1 (14 weeks from mid-February to mid-July 2019) plus approximately 14 hours of marking spread out over the semester.  The casual academic will work closely with other academic staff and we are happy to provide support in terms of teaching and learning skills.
