Health Equity
We are committed to working in partnership with Indigenous communities to achieve health equity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples by addressing unfair, avoidable and remediable differences in health. Our researchers tackle a broad range of issues in this field, including:
- Investigating novel approaches to advance equitable and non-discriminatory access to health services
- Exploring and remediating issues associated with environmental contributions of water and sanitation, housing, and remoteness on health; and the contributions of climate change to health in remote communities
- Identifying and trialling the implementation of effective policy interventions to increase availability and promotion of healthy food in retail settings, raise awareness of appropriate nutrition, and improve food security.
