Research and Ethics Ethical research is known as the factors of research which are identified as morally acceptable and unacceptable behaviour (Resnik, 2016). Aboriginal and Islander people have been exposed to unethical actions and methods researchers since early settlement (Smith, 2012). Medical and social science research that has been conducted on Indigenous people is usually obtained without consent and knowledge (Smith, 2012, AIATSIS, 2012). A major feature in improving social, economic and cultural circumstances incorporates the involvement of Indigenous people including them in shared decision making and planning (Menzies, 2014) Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS) is a Commonwealth constitution that provides guidance in Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander research introducing factors such as ethics, understanding culture and heritage (National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), AIATSIS, 2012) .Promotion of optimistic outcomes in health, safety and the lives of Indigenous people is the main focus of research (NHMRC, 2018). Not all research was beneficial for Indigenous and Torres Strait Islanders, however guidelines have been developed and manipulated to benefit Aboriginal communities, ensuring ethical and respectful research is conducted (NHMRC, 2018). These new guidelines have enabled a safer community with a wider variety in health options. References Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies. (2012).
