“…Stuart's (2010) This strongly indicates that an increase in the numbers of Aboriginal nurses is urgently needed, as they bring with them inherent knowledge and an awareness of cultural healing that is a tremendous benefi t to the welfare of Aboriginal patients. Usher, Miller, Turale, and Goold (2005) suggest that one solution to this current imbalance in Australia's nursing workforce is to take affi rmative action to dramatically increase Aboriginal nurses' participation numbers in the healthcare arena. Being nursed by health professionals from a similar cultural background promotes a therapeutic setting where a patient's healthcare needs can be understood and accommodated because of shared world views (Sherwood & Edwards, 2006).…”

“…However, emerging research concerning Indigenous Peoples in urban contexts in Canada (Peters & Anderson, 2013) and Australia (Kleinert & Koch, 2012) suggests that this is changing. As a result, Indigenous experiences with urban employment, social mobility, and involvement in professional forms of work have come into focus (Anderson, 2011;Lahn, 2013) alongside studies of Indigenous involvement in professions such as nursing (Usher, Miller, Turale, & Goold, 2005) and medicine (Anderson & Lavallee, 2007). Concomitantly, scholarship has started to address issues of inclusion and respect for Indigenous Peoples as they have been articulated under the umbrella of workplace diversity.…”

Australia’s civil service has had some success in attracting substantial numbers of Indigenous employees. But significant numbers also regularly exit the bureaucracy. Retaining Indigenous employees is recognised as an ongoing difficulty for government. This research with former and current Indigenous civil servants outlines factors they identify as contributing to decisions to leave the bureaucracy. A key finding involves their general sense of being underutilised and undervalued— that forms of experience and understanding as Indigenous people go largely unrecognised within government, which in turn constrains their potential to meaningfully contribute to improving government relations with Indigenous Australians or to enhancing the effectiveness of the bureaucracy more broadly. Work as an Indigenous civil servant emerges as a space of contestation with the possibilities and limits of statecraft.

“…Other researchers recommended that relevant curricula is key to the retention of Indigenous students (Goold, 2006;Gregory et al, 2008;Hampton & Roy, 2002;Martin & Kipling, 2006;Pijl-Zieber & Hagen, 2011;Smith et al, 2011;Usher, Miller, Turale, & Goold, 2005;Wilson et al, 2011). Pijl-Zieber and Hagen (2011), for example, drew attention to current nursing education models that may be unsupportive of Indigenous students, and proposed other models that they believed would more likely position Indigenous students for success.…”
