Clean water is critical to Closing the Gap in health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Access to secure, reliable and safe drinking water is essential to human health and well-being and is recognised by the United Nations as a human right. Many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities have inadequate drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) accessibility.
This submission endorses the Strategy priority areas, considers challenges in building a biosecurity workforce, and proposes the inclusion of different approaches such as One Health and Traditional Knowledge to develop a comprehensive understanding of biosecurity.
Social issues matter for STEM. This issue of IMPACT challenges all of us to look up from the lab, screen, sandpit, paddock and workshop, and connect with colleagues to address some of the deepest challenges and inequities persist across our society.
