Abstract
Working with Australia's indigenous people as an occupational therapist requires an understanding of Aboriginal culture. Non‐Aboriginal (gardia) therapists, in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, have been challenged to revise their use of conventional therapy to work effectively with their traditional Aboriginal clients. Some of the cultural aspects which impact on the therapists' work include language differences, explanations of illness and death, complex laws governing family relationships, and attitudes to ageing and disabilities.
