Abstract
The barriers to Indigenous people entering tertiary
education, succeeding, and gaining employment
in the health professions are broad and
systemic. While efforts have been made to
address these barriers, the number of Indigenous
health professionals remains extremely low
across Australia. The Pika Wiya Learning Centre
in South Australia provides a range of practical,
social, cultural, and emotional supports for tertiary
students to increase the number of Indigenous
health professionals, especially registered
nurses, in the region. This paper reports on the
Centre?s strengths that may represent best practice
in student support, and the obstacles to
further development.
