| Summary: | Australia is facing a crisis in the mental health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians aged 18 years or over report experiencing high to very high levels of psychological distress at a rate more than twice (and a suicide rate at least twice) that of non-Indigenous people. The severe under-representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the profession of psychology, with less than 1% of all psychologists identifying as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, is a contributor to this mental health gap. AIPEP, which commenced in July 2013, was led by Professor Pat Dudgeon and a collaborative team of academics, Indigenous consultants and the Australian Psychological Society (APS). A series of primary and secondary data analyses, involving a wide range of stakeholders, was undertaken using qualitative and quantitative methods. The significant findings of the Project fall under four themes. These are: Professional and student representation, Recruitment and retention of students, Curriculum and Professional capabilities. |
