What can I do?
There are a number of simple things you can do to help:

» Sign the Indigenous Health Rights Statement. 1) email your signed statement to ANTaR; 2) distribute the statement to your friends and networks.
» Send a letter to the Prime Ministerasking for his urgent commitment.
» NEW: send a letter to the Prime Minister in
Pitjantjatjara, Arabic, Dutch, French
» Find out more Indigenous Health Rights Action Kit
» Join your local reconciliation group (contact ANTaR for help) to find out about local issues and to help develop local initiatives.
» Encourage your church, school, university, or other community organisation to take up the issue and develop initiatives in support of the campaign.
» Contact your state and federal politicians and urge them to make Indigenous health a priority. A comprehensive National Strategic Framework for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health was endorsed by all Australian Governments in July 2003. These Governments need to be urged to implement their strategy.
» Write 1) to state and federal politicians – your local members, health ministers and shadow ministers, the prime minister, your state premier, plus state and federal opposition leaders; 2) to newspapers: the major daily and weekly papers plus your local papers.
» Visit your local GP with a copy of the Action Kit and multiple copies of the Indigenous Health Rights Statement.
