abstract: 'Individual-level factors are typically identified as barriers to health

  and well-being for African Australians, whereas little attention is paid

  to the multiple intersecting dimensions of inequality. Without

  accounting for the interrelated nature of African Australians'' social

  locations and intersecting systems of oppression/privilege, practice and

  policy responses may have limited impact. This qualitative empirical

  study utilizes intersectional analysis to understand concerns about

  African Australian health and well-being in Greater Melbourne gleaned

  from an Issues Paper produced by 50 African Australians, two group

  interviews, and 22 slow interviews. Participants included 35 African

  Australians and nine people of non-African backgrounds working with, and

  for, African Australians in the community sector. Systems of

  oppression/privilege that impact health outcomes for certain African

  Australians are found at the intersections of migration pathway, age,

  and gender and manifest within three Australian institutions, including

  via segregation and othering in education, labor market discrimination,

  and gendered racism in health care provision. As such, intersectional

  and equity-orientated practice and policy actions are recommended to

  shift the distribution of power across all social institutions and

  eradicate health inequities.'
