A gap to close: A literature review of ...

WasteAid and Swinburne University of Technology have partnered to undertake a review of available literature on the matter of "waste" and its relationship with health and wellbeing in rural and remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Communities. This review was conducted by a cross-discipline research team in public and environmental health, remote community health hardware innovation research, and policy design and development research in the Centre for Design Innovation. The review represents a national and international look at key ideas and articles relevant to the topic of waste management and the health and wellbeing of Remote Indigenous Australian communities. The review complements the work by Anne Prince, 'The Rubbish Report' that investigated the specific circumstances of waste management in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands of Central Australia, and the early benchmark work of Kurt Seemann and Bruce Walker, Remote Controlled Waste on the specific issues affecting Waste and Rubbish in the Western Desert Pintupi Lands of Central Australia.
