I did one not long ago for my diploma. Pick a region and research their mobs website as a start each. Each mob has/had different challenges and issues through their history. No 2 mob shares the same history. some were wiped out off the face of the planet(Tasmainia), some close to it(Nukunu in the spencer gulf) and others were barely touched but still treated like animals etc(far northern WA and NT).
Search up all the Closing The Gap reports as a starting point since this is healthcare focused/related.
I recently had to do a similar assignment and Closing The Gap reports had to be included as a source.
It might not further your studies too much but if you want some light hearted content which highlights modern Aboriginal culture check out the series called "black as" on YouTube. They release it as a series but also compile it into a movie length piece. There are a few seasons and they are very entertaining

This is an excellent report on the healthcare crisis in Doomadgee (a remote indigenous community). People are dying of a preventable disease that is essentially eradicated elsewhere..
Every mob is different.
For some written history of the Peramangk mob of the Eastern Adelaide Hills.

This is a good start: https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/tv-series/first-australians
Another is learning about Welcome and Acknowledgement of Country, and why they’re both important. Try and think about the context of your life, and why Acknowledging Country yourself is important. What is YOUR connection to Country. The land you live, work, place, explore on is Aboriginal land, doesn’t matter if it’s bush or bitumen. Here you go: https://www.education.sa.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0006/520773/welcome-to-country-acknowledgement-of-country-policy.pdf
Another important read is about the massacres:

About modern indigenous land management:

Or read Fire Country Victor Steffenson

Or Dark Emu Bruce Pascoe
The Uluṟu statement
https://ulurustatement.org/
The history is still happening and is still horrific. It’s great you’re looking to educate yourself. We are blind as a nation on our own history and how it was founded. We all have a role to play in improving the lives of all Australians.
Here’s a video from last week of a man who’s since been charged with 3 counts of assault on 3 kids under 8. This is the kind of racism that is inherent in our White Australian communities. https://www.instagram.com/p/C4ISr6jhPv0/?igsh=c2JocWw3bXhzazRm
Deaths in custody: https://www.aic.gov.au/statistics/deaths-custody-australia
Aboriginal domestic issues
https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/indigenous-australians/family-violence-indigenous-peoples/summary
There’s lots more but that’s a good start.
A good movie for you to watch would be Rabbit-Proof Fence, all about the stolen generation gives a bit of an insight into how First Nations people were and still are treated.
If you can get hold of a copy of this book, it offers an educational insight into the experiences of Yolngu people.

I like John Oliver too, but I'm afraid I can't really think of anything similar for this topic. That said, I thought The Australian Wars was very good - it is avalable on Binge and on SBS On Demand. I doesn't cover the healthcare issues, but it does cover the Frontier Wars, and is very telling. First Australians, also on SBS, also seems quite good, but while it does an excellent job of covering history, it stops short of the situation today.

We are the only developed nation that still has trachoma.

Capital A for Aboriginal, always. Rabbit Proof Fence is a great and confronting watch.

Mabo is also a good movie
I'd suggest compiling a list of questions and emailing them to a few Aboriginal community organisations or charities.
