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
