After reviewing one of the websites please answer the following questions using material and initiatives that the AHS are currently including as programs for their clients to evidence your responses:

1. Explain the historical development of the health care facility. Link this to the historical development of AHS in Australia – (your textbook will assist in completing this question);

3. Clearly identify demographics for Indigenous people in the area the AMS services;
