In this section we are privileged to highlight some of the excellent work being undertaken in Australia by the Faculty of Medicine and Health First Nations researchers.
In collaboration with other leading organisations, we recognise how critical it is to remedy current inequities in First Nations’ health by ensuring that any solutions proposed draw on the culture, local knowledge and actual experience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.
Here are some glimpses into what our First Nations 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, Australia’s First Nations Peoples. We plan to continuously update this section.
