SA Aboriginal Chronic Disease Consortium Resources
The Three Plans
The Consortium has produced a series of Aboriginal specific diabetes video resources, featuring members of a variety of rural and remote South Australian Aboriginal communities talking about their diabetes story, highlighting the challenges and the successes. Each video also features different health professionals (including Aboriginal health professionals) providing background information and explanations about diabetes and the necessary measures to manage it, in language that is appropriate for Aboriginal people.
