Fantastic opportunity for improving Indigenous health:

'THOUSANDS of Aborigines living in remote corners of Arnhem Land will have greater access to medical services after a deal was clinched between governments and Aboriginal health providers.

The deal will lead to the establishment of the Northern Territory's largest regional health board.

Primary healthcare in the East Arnhem region -- which takes in large Aboriginal communities such as Yirrkala and Galiwinku, as well as hundreds of far-flung outstations -- is currently being provided by four different health providers.'>

- as quoted from The Australian.
