Background Worldwide, there are a growing number of culturally informed health and wellbeing assessments developed for older Indigenous populations. Whilst the importance of these assessments cannot be overstated, of equal importance are the delivery methods around the assessment to ensure cultural safety. This scoping review is exploring existing available health literature and resources on cultural safety for older Indigenous peoples in Canada, New Zealand, the United States of America and Australia. We specifically aim to explore how these resources can be utilised to inform and develop cultural safety guidelines in cognitive assessment approaches with older Indigenous peoples. Methods The scoping review is being conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines and the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Manual for Evidence Synthesis. A comprehensive health database and grey literature search focuses on five key concept areas - Indigenous, ageing, cognition, health and wellbeing, assessment and cultural safety. Publication screening, data extraction and synthesis is being conducted by 2-3 reviewers from the research team. Key findings will be summarised using a narrative synthesis approach. Results Results from this scoping review will be presented. Conclusion This scoping review is a component of an international research project entitled Co-design of Indigenous dementia Resources in Canada and AustraLia (CIRCLE): Enhancing health communication for Indigenous peoples along the dementia journey. Final results and implications for health and aged care assessment practices with older Indigenous peoples will be discussed.
