This study focuses on prison health services in the adult prison system in Victoria and their relationship to Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs). It includes an overview of Aboriginal imprisonment in Victoria and the healthcare provided to prisoners pre and post release. The study found no partnership between ACCHOs and prison health services, and found prison health service systems were not meeting cultural safety policy standards, despite Victorian Government policies requiring this. Successful models to improving health and mental health outcomes for Aboriginal prisoners are considered and a list of recommendations to improve health and mental health outcomes for Aboriginal prisoners are presented.
