Abstract
- Background: Historical socio-political processes have produced gross inequity of health resource for Aboriginal Australians and New Zealand Māori.<br />Objectives: This paper argues that socio-political factors resulting from the entrenchment of colonialism have produced significant personal and structural barriers to the utilisation of healthcare services and directly impact the health status of these two vulnerable groups.<br />Design: Discussion Paper.<br />Conclusions: Understanding the actual barriers preventing the utilisation of healthcare facilities, as perceived by Indigenous people, is essential in reducing the gross disparity between Indigenous and non-Indigenous morbidity and mortality in Australia and New Zealand.
