Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Research

ECU is committed to working in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities towards reconciliation.

At ECU we are proud to have a number of outstanding researchers, some of whom have Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander backgrounds. We leverage this expertise to provide insight into culturally appropriate conduct and protocols in research relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Learn more about the fantastic research going on in this space through our Researcher Journey articles.

Resources and support

Research has great scope to improve services and outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and their communities. Appropriate preparation and planning in collaboration with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and community-controlled organisations, can ensure that research projects respect shared values as well as recognise the diversity, priorities, needs, and aspirations of these communities.

Research activity

Kurongkurl Katitjin Centre for Indigenous Education and Research leads a range of projects focusing on health, education and culture and actively contributes to a range of research projects across ECU and further afield.

The Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet, an integral part of Kurongkurl Katitjin, provides up-to-date, evidence-informed, and practical information to health professionals and community organisations working to improve health and wellbeing outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, families and communities.
