Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge

Developing culturally appropriate ways to improve the lives and enhance the futures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and communities continue to face challenges that impact on all facets of life. Our researchers are combining multidisciplinary knowledge — both ancient and new — to develop solutions that will improve the wellbeing and support the aspirations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across Australia.

Across our research, we collaborate with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders and communities to ensure the strategies we develop are culturally appropriate and underpinned by Indigenous knowledge, practice and perspective.
