Our research

In collaboration with other leading organisations, we recognise how critical it is to remedy current inequities in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health by ensuring that any solutions proposed draw on the culture, local knowledge and actual experience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians.

Here are some glimpses into what our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander researchers are currently working on and achieving. It is exciting research that frequently combines the most contemporary and innovative digital tools with the knowledge systems of one of the richest and oldest continuing cultures in the world, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians.
