Pre-Invasion Status of Indigenous People
	The health status of Indigenous people has undergone transformational changes over the course of time (Bodkin et al, 2016). Their conventional approach in the pre-invasion time regarding the health was subjected to limit their healthcare resources to the social norms i.e. the communities used to perceive their integrated values of society as the decisive factor to sustain their healthcare norms. In other words, the permission to the outside healthcare intervention programs was restricted and due to this standpoint, the healthcare issues in Indigenous people at that time were bigger than they are today. It is because of the support programs and projects sourcing from outside their community (Bodkin et al, 2016).
Current Health Status of Indigenous People 
	In contrast to the rest of the Australian population, the health status of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of Australia is low. Across all figures, there is a wide inequality gap in Australia (AHMAC, 2015). There is an estimated difference between indigenous and non-indigenous life expectancy in Australia of approximately 17 years, for instance. The age-specific death rates of indigenous Australians for all age groups below 65 years are at least double those faced by the non-indigenous population (Australian Human Rights Commission, 2007). The other issues prevail in the form of prenatal deaths, lack of care in pregnancy and malnutrition of children (DocWire, 2020).
Intent of the Assimilation Policy of 1961 
	As per the meaning of the policy mentioned in the opening section, for Australian government, all men and women are equal and deserve the rights of living equally. The preservation of the basic social, political, economical and healthcare ingredients is expected to be equally distributed to all. These objectives are driven from the democratic structure of the society and the governing values that are also inspired from the democratic norms. The policy exclusively deals with the concept if equality regardless of the caste, race or ethnic values of the communities living in Australia (Trewin & Richard, 2005).
Australian Indigenous Men in Sports and Racism 
	A close glance at the sector of sports shows undeniable minority inequality trends. Although minorities are overrepresented as athletes, they are still underrepresented in other roles like coaches, physical trainers, field managers, support staff and people who can manage the field operations well, apart from being a part of the team (Marwick et al, 2019). Since the 1970s and 80s, much of the targeted exclusion and bias have diminished as sports associations have pushed towards better policies and services to combat this behavior. But this racial prejudice has simply grown in certain ways and found a new online and social media platform in which to fester (Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission, 2006).
	At present, with so much exposure to the question of racial discrimination, it should be remembered that the systemic and cultural bias has pervaded Australian sporting history for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and still persists at the elite and grassroots levels across various sporting codes. It should also be pointed out, however, the recent projects, initiatives and education in this sector that aim to counter this discrimination and bias, and explain how they are critical in shaping and reinforcing positive actions in negative social attitudes. For example, in 2013, Adam Goodes, a Sydney Swans player in a match against Collingwood Magpies at Melbourne Cricket Ground during the AFL's Indigenous Round was called an ape by a 13-year-old Collingwood supporter (Marwick et al, 2019). Upon hearing the abuse, Goodes pointed the girl out to security and she was ejected from the stadium. The issue was handled well on the ground but the source of the issue lied in the mentality of the audience that looked at the physical appearance of Goodes as something that appealed to them to take that distinctive address (Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission, 2006).
	As per the observation mentioned above, the effects that racism and discrimination based on it provides on Indigenous men is a decisive factor in determining their career.
