Comparing cognitive assessment service provision between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and non-Indigenous Australians at a metropolitan health service.

CONCLUSIONS: Results indicated a lack of cognitive screening practices being undertaken in both groups. It was encouraging to see Indigenous Australians receiving consultations from multidisciplinary team members at a higher rate, with a similar follow up pathway being observed. This study further highlights the need for adoption of screening practices in primary healthcare settings and the development and use of culturally appropriate cognitive screening measures.
