Abstract:
Australia has approximately 1,291 indigenous communities, of which 1,210 are geographically isolated or located in rural areas some distance from centres of population (ABS, 1999). These remote communities are characterized by low socio-economic status and are highly disadvantaged in terms of basic health, education and other services.
