Hey,

I knew one program in detail (delivering deadly services) and then knew one more in less detail (feedin the mob).
You are able to choose whatever program/s you like.
Just know a brief summary and background on the program and then how it links to at least 3 areas of the ottawa charter

Sample response:
Describe one initiative which aims to address the difference in health status experienced by Indigenous population:
The Be Deadly, Get Healthy Program:
•   Outline: The Be Deadly, Get Healthy (BDGH) program aims to improve the health of Aboriginal families and reduce chronic disease in Baw Baw shire in the Gippsland area of Victoria
•   Extra details: The program uses a family-based approach, where children and parents are encouraged to participate to learn long-term healthy behaviours, this is done by an initial health assessment and participation in physical activity sessions; such as group walks, gym circuits. Thus, promoting physical health and wellbeing for the Indigenous population
How does that program reflect the action areas of the Ottawa Charter:
•   Develop personal skills: Through the BDGH program the Indigenous population learn long-term healthy behaviours such as exercise strategies, through group exercise sessions, group walks and gym circuits  that educate the Indigenous populations methods to maintain healthy body weight, through physical activity, thereby promoting physical health and wellbeing   
•   Strengthen community action: The program is developed in partnership with WGHG and Ramahyuck District Aboriginal Corporation (RDAC) thus strengthening the relationship between the healthcare groups and the district Aboriginal cooperation, such connections allow for less economic stress for the Aboriginal community, promoting mental health and wellbeing
