The intention of this poster is to raise public awareness of the ongoing spiritual and psychical homelessness of Aboriginal Australians. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are more likely to be homeless than other Australians. This is primarily due to the need for Aboriginal people to leave their homes and communities in order to access services that other Australians take for granted, for example health services. Aboriginal homelessness is an issue that is largely ignored by the Australian government, disregarded by the media and poorly considered by the Australian public. A sustained and wide ranging commitment from both local, state and national government is required to correctly inform the Australian public of issues facing Aboriginal Australians. If we are to be perceived as a just and fair global society we need to continue to fight and strive for the equal treatment of Aboriginal people.
