“There is no quick fix in Indigenous health, but slowly, surely, we are gaining ground.

We are doing research that matters and working in partnership with Indigenous people to deliver results that stick. Our work is having a meaningful, measurable impact and improving the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.

We have knowledge, experience, relationships in place, and a passionate commitment to improving the health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians and disadvantaged people across our region.”

Professor Alan Cass Director, Menzies School of Health Research
