Mental health inequities between Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations are well documented. There is growing recognition of the role that culturally safety plays in achieving equitable outcomes. However, a clear understanding of the key characteristics of culturally safe mental health care is currently lacking. This protocol outlines a qualitative systematic review that aims to identify the key characteristics of culturally safe mental health care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, at the individual, service, and systems level. This knowledge will improve the cultural safety of mental health care provided to Indigenous peoples, with a focus on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia.
Through a review of academic, grey, and cultural literature, we will identify the key characteristics of culturally safe mental health care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia. We will consider the characteristics of culturally safe care at the individual practitioner, service, and systems levels.

原住民和非原住民之间的心理健康不平等现象已有大量记录。人们越来越认识到文化安全在实现公平结果方面所起的作用。然而，目前对于文化安全的心理健康护理的关键特征还没有清晰的理解。本方案概述了一项定性系统评价，旨在确定在个人、服务和系统层面上，文化安全的心理健康护理对原住民的关键特征。这方面的知识将提高为原住民提供的心理健康护理的文化安全性，重点是澳大利亚的原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民。
通过对学术、灰色和文化文献的审查，我们将确定澳大利亚原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民文化安全的心理健康护理的关键特征。我们将考虑在个人从业者、服务和系统层面上文化安全护理的特征。
