The general practice sector needs to collect the Indigenous status of patients in order to provide GP-mediated health interventions specific to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and to provide Indigenous status data to national data collections. Effective Indigenous identification processes are not widespread in the sector and this undermines both service delivery and data collection. This report describes the problem and discusses how Indigenous identification could be improved.
