2.1The practitioner understands Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health as a whole-of-life concept taking in the social, emotional and cultural wellbeing of the entire community, not only an individual's physical wellbeing, and takes into account factors such as colonisation and its effect on health and the social and health inequity these communities carry, which is why cultural safety for them is considered specifically.
