The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) has worked with funding from the Australian government to improve support and training for general practitioners working in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
This article outlines the role being played by the RACGP and addresses the question: 'What can I do?' for interested GPs.
The RACGP plays an important role in supporting GPs working in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. This includes current RACGP Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health projects such as providing support for the NACCHO GP Network, provision of accessible relevant cultural safety training for GPs, a national meeting of those working in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health, access to the RACGP library's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health resource collection, and the ongoing distribution of other resources, as well as RACGP organisational support for a range of other initiatives. On an individual level, all GPs are challenged to work at being well informed, and to take a personal leadership role so they can play a part in improving Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health.

本文概述了RACGP所发挥的作用，并回答了感兴趣的全科医生的问题：“我能做什么？”
RACGP在支持在原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民社区工作的全科医生方面发挥着重要作用。这包括RACGP当前的原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民健康项目，例如为全国原住民社区控制健康组织（NACCHO）全科医生网络提供支持，为全科医生提供易于获取的相关文化安全培训，举办原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民健康工作者全国会议，提供RACGP图书馆的原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民健康资源收藏，持续分发其他资源，以及RACGP对一系列其他倡议的组织支持。在个人层面，所有全科医生都面临着了解充分信息并发挥个人领导作用的挑战，以便他们能够在改善原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民健康方面发挥作用。
