In this episode, guest interviewer Dr Tim Senior speaks to child and family health GP, Dr Marguerite Tracy. Dr Tracy explores immunisation, anaemia and growth failure topics in the section of the National Guide relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. She discusses the gap in child immunisation rates, what GPs and other clinicians can do for children to prevent growth failure, and the recommendation for communities that have very high anaemia incidence rates.

The National Guide is one of the most widely used clinical guidelines in Australia, supporting primary healthcare providers to understand what works in preventive healthcare for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
