The future of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health research must be in the hands of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people were Australia’s first explorers, first navigators, first engineers, first farmers, first botanists, first scientists, first diplomats, first astronomers and first artists (NAIDOC, 2020).
To celebrate and promote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health and wellbeing, UNSW Medicine in partnership with The George Institute, the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre, and the Kirby Institute are pleased to invite you to a special NAIDOC week webinar.
