"This RAHC Cultural Orientation Handbook is the first part of the training and orientation program for health professionals to provide an introduction to working with and living in remote Aboriginal communities and to the cultural issues that they need to be aware of in the provision of health services. Critical issues such as the role of the Aboriginal Health Practitioner and working among kinship networks are discussed in order to help health professionals work effectively and safely." [Welcome],
