Health to me means keeping yourself healthy not only physically but probably more so mentally. Without a strong and clear mind, you don't have the motivating force to keep yourself physically healthy. This means taking time out of each day to perform physical activity and keeping a healthy diet for yourself. Once the physical activity is performed it releases healthy hormones called endorphins, which then help to reduce stress and improve your sense of well-being. In fact, it works in a chain effect, keeping a balanced diet and exercise, which then carries over to improve your mental health, to then creates yourself a healthy lifestyle to live a long healthy life.

Im grateful for living in Australia because of all the freedom we experience compared to many other countries, for the beautiful scenery surrounding us, and for the safety we encounter to make it a great place to bring up our families. I'm proud that we've become a multicultural society and welcome and provide the same safety for immigrants and refugees, giving them the life they deserve.
Proud to call Australia home!

When entering Australia, migrants/refugees face many social determinants; some are more of an impact than others. Just to outline a few that have an impact. Education is a big one, as not only is there a language barrier but when entering Australia from another country, the education standards aren't always the same as back in their country. Therefore they will need to continue their education here in Australia to meet the standards and criteria. This will also carry into their income (affordability) and social protection. They need to be able to afford the education when they arrive in Australia they aren't always employed; they just have the savings, if any, they came with. As the migrants and refugees aren't eligible for any government funding, they need to seek employment which may take time, and also, the language barriers are taken into account again. The financial stress hits hard both mentally and physically. To take care of themselves, migrants and refugees need to find access to affordable healthcare services which can be quite hard to find. Different states of Australia have different health programs for migrants and refugees. Luckily when they first enter Australia they should receive (if eligible) a Medicare MBS-covered assessment. From there the Primary health care professionals should come up with a management plan where the affordability may change for ongoing issues.

Acknowledging the traditional owners of our land we live on today.
Everyone has their own history of Australia Day, on this day we reflect on the highs and lows and respect each other stories.
Australia Day 26th January, marks the anniversary of the first fleet arriving in Australia. On the 26th of January 1788 Captain Arthur Philip raised the British Union Jack flag and announced the possession of the land in Sydney Cove. This action commenced the invasion of British colonists to lands that were already owned across the country. Therefore 26th January can be known as Invasion or Survival Day to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Australians.

The competency standard clinicians understand and respond to barriers through quality and safe care to people from migrant and refugee backgrounds is important because we need to make sure every single patient is fully educated and aware of their medical state. During my nursing career, I will assess the patient and acknowledge any barriers they may have to gather a full understanding of what is involved in the present, future, and procedure. Having examined the patient and they find it hard to understand due to a language barrier, I will call upon an interpreter to assist with the language, therefore the patient will receive the rightful quality of information they need. It's extremely important patients are fully informed of all medicine effects, and the importance of not sharing and keeping the medication safely stored. Alternatively, I could offer their traditional medicine as it's something they're accustomed to and understand. For myself though I would only offer traditional medicine if I or my colleagues have a full understanding and knowledge of the medicine. Once I've acknowledged and addressed any barriers I will ensure the patient is fully educated with the knowledge they need. If I then need to perform a procedure I will make sure to get consent from both the patient and family to do so. I believe all involved in the recovery and treatment should then be educated on the quality use of medicines and ensure they have a full understanding of the medication safety.

Australia for Indonesia is quite close therefore popular for the population to migrate to Australia to improve their way of living. In fact, from 2021 89, 480 Indonesian-born people were living in Australia so you can see from the statistics it's popular. With them, they carry some common health concerns that need to be treated once they arrive in Australia. One big concern is their mental health. Being separated from loved ones, post-traumatic stress PTSD from past torture and trauma isn't easy for the migrants to deal with. Not having the support back home they need, they're left to try to talk to a stranger (doctor) in Australia. Emotional well-being and mental health should be on the post-arrival screening, but if they're not feeling up to opening up its up to the health professional to build rapport first. Once the rapport and trust are made, the migrants can be advised on treatments. Minor cases for easy treatments can be as simple as advising enough sleep, physical activity, and a good diet. More severe cases can be referred to counseling or specialised torture and trauma service.
Malaria is also a common illness coming from Indonesia. It spreads through bites of mosquitos and transfusion of blood. All refugees to Australia from Malaria regions are offered a voluntary health check which involves RDT of Malaria and treatment if the test is positive. If the test is unavailable or missed and has any of the following symptoms, headaches, febrile illness, nausea, chills and sweats, and diarrhea the migrants should seek medical help for testing as soon as possible. If the test is positive they're referred to a doctor or in some cases hospital to start treatment, which is mainly a prescribed oral medication. Once the course of medication is finished they then will need to continue with follow-up appointments.
Another common health concern to Indonesian refugees is the Hepatitis B virus. Though it's usually asymptomatic, refugees should get tested if experience cramping in the stomach, fatigue, and loss of appetite. If the test is positive as well as treating Hep B the patients are offered vaccines for Hepatitis A. Also if the refugees are positive it's best to tell any sexual partners so they can be tested as that's how the virus is spread. This will alert any contacts so they can have the opportunity to get vaccinated. If diagnosed with Hepatitis B the patients are prescribed anti-viral medications, a management plan, clinical review, and blood test every 6 months, HBV viral load every 12 months.
