Although Indigenous Australians critically ill with sepsis have similar short and long-term mortality rates, they present to hospital, die in-hospital, and die post-discharge significantly younger.

Overall, it was found that little attention has been paid to the accessibility and acceptability of federal food assistance programs among indigenous peoples and more research is needed to understand and improve the participation experiences and health trajectories of these priority populations.
