‘LIVIN’ THE DJ WAY’: Aboriginal housing and health in Dajarra

The thesis Livin’ The DJ Way: Aboriginal housing and health in Dajarra investigates how
Aboriginal housing could be more culturally responsive. The research primarily aimed to investigate the relationships between the housing and health experiences of Aboriginal people in the western Queensland town of Dajarra. By tracing the history of government housing policy the study identified how housing has affected the health of Aboriginal people in Dajarra and explored the differences and similarities between Aboriginal and Western worldviews. The research further identified health stressors experienced by the Dajarra people in their houses, day-to-day lives and environment, and documented examples of how they adapted their living practices inside and outside the houses.
