78 The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cultural and Health Training Framework Guiding Principles Workforce development requires strengthsbased approaches which value Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of knowing, being and doing and which is led by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People and communities. Decolonising and Indigenising means that the RACGP training and education program will enable the growth of a more culturally safe and appropriate paradigm that reflects Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander values, world view and health outlook. Increasing the numbers of culturally capable GPs working in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health will shift us closer to health equity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. Research in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health needs to be self-determined, demonstrate community leadership, sovereignty and allow for Indigenous data sovereignty. A culturally responsive workforce for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health needs to be well informed of the impacts of racism, discrimination, trauma, including intergenerational, and learn trauma informed approaches to deliver health care.
