Abstract
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people suffer disproportionately from type 2 diabetes and its related co-morbidities, compared to the mainstream Australian population. In isolated north Queensland communities, populated by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, type 2 diabetes is managed in partnership with the local State government operated primary health care service. In 2001 these primary health care services moved to an evidence-based approach to managing chronic diseases. As a consequence the State and Commonwealth governments have invested in the primary health care workforce and infrastructure. The aim of this thesis is to generate further understanding of the relationship between community-level primary health care resourcing and hospitalisation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in north Queensland with type 2 diabetes.
