Cultural Security. ‌ Culture as a social function creates obligations and responsibilities and establishes an order that binds individuals, families and communities together. Culture and identity is central to health and ill health. How Aboriginal people view wellness and illness is in part based on cultural beliefs and values. At the service interface these perceptions and the social interaction surrounding them influence when and why Aboriginal communities access services, their acceptance or rejection of treatment, the likelihood of compliance and follow up, the likely success of prevention and health promotion strategies, the client’s assessment of the quality of care and views of health care providers and personnel. Cultural security is a commitment that the construct of effective clinical care, public health, health systems administration and the provision of services offered by the health and wellbeing system will not compromise the legitimate cultural rights, views and values of Aboriginal people.

Increasingly the medical profession has recognised that ‘health care belief systems are critical to the patient’s healing processes and overseas studies have shown that the practice and advice of traditional healers is often valued more highly than the advice from western medical practitioners. Cultural security in health service provision is also emerging as a risk minimisation and cost containment issue with some overseas providers adopting this approach in an effort to improve market share, contain costs, improve outcomes and improve quality. Some overseas malpractice insurers offer premium discounts to doctors who take cultural security or competence into their practice. Cultural security enriches the competence of practitioners and administrators in the design, delivery and evaluation of health services. Key target areas are: • Implementation of the Cultural Security policy • Cultural Security Guidelines for Managers • Aboriginal positions employed in the health and wellbeing system including promotion of Aboriginal staff into senior positions • Cultural leave • ...
