Abstract
Trauma continues to be a significant health issue for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities. Data related to trauma, covering a range of issues, shows poor outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients. The context of trauma in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and the effect of social issues must be understood in order to effectively address trauma at clinical, health system, and public health levels.
