Abstract
This paper describes a research project undertaken by the Centre of Excellence for Aboriginal Health in East Gippsland (CEAHEG), to identify the barriers to East Gippsland Aboriginal high school students becoming health professionals. It incorporates qualitative data gathered from questionnaires,semi structured individual interviews and focus group discussions. A literature review of Australian and International publications was conducted and is the subject of a separate paper. Questionnaires were distributed to Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal students and their parents/carers, and interviews undertaken with Aboriginal parents/carers. The findings for the local schools were consistent with the findings from the literature review.
