Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Patient Care Guideline by 
Communicating Positively: A Guide to Appropriate Aboriginal Terminology by
Communicating Positively supports a broader set of NSW Health initiatives to achieve health equity. A culturally respectful and responsive health system is essential to improve health outcomes for Aboriginal people. Usage of some terms may vary with location if you are unsure about using a particular term, ask the local Aboriginal community/ies or Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services to identify their preferred terms. Alternatively, contact the Director of Aboriginal Health in your Local Health District, the Local Aboriginal Land Council (LALC), or the Centre for Aboriginal Health for further guidance.
The Guide to He Korowai Oranga - Māori Health Strategy by

• New Zealand Health Strategy
• New Zealand Disability Strategy
• New Zealand Public Health and Disability Act 2000.
It is a living strategy; making it available on the internet and updating it with evidence, data and case studies will be integral activities in its second decade. Over time, this web-based strategy will become a ‘hub of innovation’ for Māori health.

State of the Science: Implicit Bias Review by
T he 2016 State of the Science: Implicit Bias Review is the fourth edition of this annual publication. By carefully following the latest scholarly literature and public discourse on implicit bias, this document provides a snapshot of the field, both in terms of its current status and evolution as well as in the context of its relevant antecedents. As in previous editions, this publication highlights the new 2015 academic literature through the lenses of five main domain areas: criminal justice, health and health care, employment, education, and housing. Accompanying these five content areas is a discussion of the latest research-based strategies for mitigating the influence of implicit biases, as well as a recognition of major contributions that expand beyond these domain-specific boundaries.
