The Poche Centre for Indigenous Health

Research to influence policy, practice and systems in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health
Through excellence in research, the Poche Centre aims to contribute to improving health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians.

The Poche Centre for Indigenous Health acknowledges that our buildings, collections, and practices exist on unceded Aboriginal lands. We recognise the diversity and knowledges of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff and students across all the lands the University stands on, and respect the ongoing connection Aboriginal people have to these lands, their cultural practices, knowledge systems and histories. Our website may contain images of people who have passed away.

 

At the Poche Centre we are committed to delivering world-class research by working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, health care institutions and providers. Through research and partnerships, we actively seek to address health inequities by positioning Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices at the centre of all research.

The Poche Centre has a strong history at the University of Sydney. Our donors are incredibly proud of this history and are particularly grateful to all organisations and volunteers with whom we have worked towards closing the gap in life expectancy and other health outcomes.
