摘要
A recent workshop reporting on success stories in addressing the appalling ill-health of Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait peoples has resulted in a report which is now available to visitors of the IUHPE website. This commentary presents a personal perspective on the importance of highlighting success after decades of negative reporting. (Global Health Promotion, 2010; 17(4): 61-64)
