In many cases (not all), the aboriginal missions encouraged the loss of aboriginal culture by often trying to impose white Australian values, culture and language on the traditional indigenous people of Australia. These changes were not relevant to the Aborigines. Even the changed diet of the Aborigines in these missions led to problems with obesity and other health issues. On the positive side, the threat posed by graziers and pastoralists (as well as even police and government authorities) was minimised when Aborigines were on these protected lands.

Aboriginal attitudes to health emphasize a holistic view, integrating physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being, often linked to their connection to land and community. In contrast, settlers typically approached health through a more biomedical lens, focusing on individual physical ailments and medical interventions. This difference reflects broader worldviews, with Aboriginal perspectives valuing collective health and cultural practices, while settler views often prioritize scientific and technological solutions. Consequently, these differing attitudes can lead to misunderstandings and challenges in healthcare delivery and outcomes for Aboriginal peoples.
