Law Matters Podcast Medical negligence in Indigenous communities

Truth is, Indigenous communities still face systemic racism in the Australian medical system today. In this episode of Law Matters with Catherine Henry Lawyers, you’ll hear stories of families who have lost loved ones because of poor treatment in Australian hospitals and health facilities and why birthing centres can still be a place of trauma for some Indigenous mums.

Join solicitor, Linda Crawford, and Professor of Indigenous Health, Education and Research, Juanita Sherwood, as they discuss the trauma and discrimination many Indigenous people experience in healthcare and the impact of intergenerational trauma on their health today. You’ll also find out what you can do if you feel you or your family have suffered an injustice at the hands of the health department.

In this episode you’ll find out:

  • How Indigenous families can take legal action if they have been wronged by our medical system
  • Your rights to access a high standard of healthcare free from racism
  • The impact of systemic, personal and institutional racism in our health care system and birthing centres.
