Abstract
Burns are a specific health burden, but understanding the detail is vital to finding solutions
It is undisputed that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (Indigenous Australian) children are over‐represented in statistics for injury and death caused by trauma. The incidence of each of the major mechanisms of fatal trauma in Australian children — drowning and low speed vehicle run‐overs — is higher among Indigenous children.1,2 Burn injuries are also more prevalent among Indigenous children.
