    A Appendix A: Committee visits to remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait communities As part of the Committee’s inquiry into remote Indigenous community stores the Committee visited seventeen communities, all of which had a distinctive culture, history and identity. The Committee began its community visits on 30 March 2009 travelling to the Torres Strait and the Cape York Peninsula in Queensland over four days. In late April the Committee visited communities in Central Australia over a three day period. Final consultations were held in Broome, Darwin and various remote regions in the Northern Territory including North West Arnhem Land. These visits took place in July over a five day period. At each location the Committee held a public meeting followed by an open forum. These meetings demonstrated to the Committee the importance of the store in remote community life. The Committee appreciated the generous hospitality and evidence provided to the Committee by traditional owners and elders, clans and families in all the remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait communities visited during the inquiry. The Committee would also like to thank everyone who assisted with the administrative organisation of the Committee’s community visits including ICC managers, Torres Strait Councils, Government Business Managers and many others within the communities. A brief synopsis of each community visit is set out below.1 1 Where population figures are given, these are taken from a range of sources including 2006 Census data and Grants Commission figures. 158 EVERYBODY’S BUSINESS Torres Strait Islands The Torres Strait Islands (TSI), traditionally called Zenadth Kes, comprise 274 small islands in an area of 48 000 square kilometres (kms), from the tip of Cape York north to Papua New Guinea and Indonesia.

  • Cost Implications of Hard Water on Health
    The International Indigenous Policy Journal Volume 3 Article 6 Issue 3 Water and Indigenous Peoples September 2012 Cost Implications of Hard Water on Health Hardware in Remote Indigenous Communities in the Central Desert Region of Australia Heather Browett Flinders University, [email protected] Meryl Pearce Flinders University, [email protected] Eileen M. Willis Flinders University, [email protected] Recommended Citation Browett, H. , Pearce, M. , Willis, E. M. (2012). Cost Implications of Hard Water on Health Hardware in Remote Indigenous Communities in the Central Desert Region of Australia. Th e International Indigenous Policy Journal, 3(3) . DOI: 10.18584/iipj.2012.3.3.6 Cost Implications of Hard Water on Health Hardware in Remote Indigenous Communities in the Central Desert Region of Australia Abstract The provision of services such as power, water, and housing for Indigenous people is seen as essential in the Australian Government’s "Closing the Gap" policy. While the cost of providing these services, in particular adequate water supplies, is significantly higher in remote areas, they are key contributors to improving the health of Indigenous peoples. In many remote areas, poor quality groundwater is the only supply available. Hard water results in the deterioration of health hardware, which refers to the facilities considered essential for maintaining health. This study examined the costs associated with water hardness in eight communities in the Northern Territory. Results show a correlation between water hardness and the cost of maintaining health hardware, and illustrates one aspect of additional resourcing required to maintain Indigenous health in remote locations. Keywords Indigneous, water, health hardware, hard water Acknowledgments Thanks are extended to Power and Water, Northern Territory for funding this project.

February 2020. UQ GLOBAL CHANGE INSTITUTE Housing, crowding and hygiene-related infectious diseases in the Barkly region NT (UQ and Anyinginyi, 2020) 2 Acknowledgement of country The authors acknowledge the Warumungu People on whose land this project was situated, and pay our respects to the elders past, present and emerging. We note that we live, work and learn on Aboriginal land, and sovereignty has never been ceded. Acknowledgement of key stakeholders The authors offer acknowledgements and thanks to all the Warumungu People and other Indigenous Australians who contributed to this project as authors, researchers, advisors, assistants and participants. We say Kamarnta (thank you) particularly to the Board and staff of Anyinginyi Health Aboriginal Corporation and to the residents of Tennant Creek Community Living Areas and of Barkly communities who participated in the survey and interviews. We would also like to thank The University of Queensland’s Global Change Institute for funding this project through a Global Change Flagship grant. Qualifier: This is an exploratory piece of research carried out to identify and investigate apparent relationships between health and housing in the Barkly Region. The samples of data were not sufficient in size or types to prove any direct causal relationships or establish indisputable statistical correlations of causal factors. Rather, the research was designed to determine whether plausible hypotheses could be established, and whether they deserve ongoing investigation with a larger and more comprehensive study of the phenomena involved.
