Abstract Background : This article presents a conceptual Indigenous One Health model to assess health risks that sit at the One Health interface (across animal, human and environmental health) and implement holistic health approaches within Indigenous community settings. Methods : The model is informed by foundational research undertaken at international, national and community-levels that utilised Indigenist approaches, and involved conceptualising animal, human and environmental health considerations together in relation to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health and wellbeing in Australia. Results : The conceptual Indigenous One Health model centres Indigenous cultures, values and knowledge associated with One Health in Indigenous communities and highlights structural needs and principles for implementation. Conclusion : This article discusses key considerations for the future directions of Indigenous One Health, which are required to move the Indigenous One Health research field forward and support health equity in Indigenous communities. One Health impact statement The concept of One Health is aligned with Indigenous views of health and wellbeing that consider holistic approaches to health and integrate cultural and community values. One Health has been highlighted as an effective approach to addressing current and emerging health risks, particularly in low-resourced settings. However, One Health methodologies have not been well integrated with Indigenous health fields, and despite the close alignment with Indigenous worldviews, enacting this approach across health fields to date has been limited. This article used foundational research that undertook research within Indigenous One Health, combining Indigenous research methodologies and One Health approaches, to assess multifaceted health risks within Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations and inform preventative health. It presents a conceptual Indigenous One Health model and discusses key considerations for the future direction of Indigenous One Health research.
