Health in Indigenous Australia

Today in an ABC News Ticker it was stated as follows:

"One third of 'disease burden' suffered by indigenous Australians 'preventable'.

A serious worry, but at this stage I have no more detail.  Is it funding? Is it delivery of the relevant medical services?  Is it a problem that many indigenous Australians do not present to receive the medical services available? Is it a lifestyle matter that results in the onset of these diseases?

Is it a combination of all or some of the above?

I'll update this post when and if I can find more detail.

Whatever it is I hope that it can be addressed and quickly.
