investigate the contemporary application of Aboriginal protocols in the development of particular medicines and biological methods in Australia and how recognition and protection ofIndigenous cultural and intellectual property is important, for example: bush medicine and smokebush in Western Australia
Bush medicine refers to the use of herbs and other plants to treat illness, the term refers to the ways in which indigenous people treat both physical and mental diseases.

The billygoat weed is a tropical American plant that is used in bush medicine as an analgesic and antibacterial external poultice over a wound, though this plant is also classified as an environmental week in Queensland NSW
