Abstract
Many health professionals are deeply troubled by the persistent health inequities between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians. From a social and political perspective it is clear that, for there to be appreciable improvement in Aboriginal health, a process of reconciliation which acknowledges the past in the light of the present needs to be adopted across all sectors of society. We give some practical advice for promoting reconciliation.
