Join us for a smoking ceremony, Welcome to Country and panel discussion on "Collaborative Research in Aboriginal and Torres Islander Health: Bridging Knowledge Systems". 

Elders from Galiwinku, a remote NE Arnhem Land community and researchers will share cultural perspectives and stories from Galiwinku, emphasising the importance of traditional knowledge in community health and the need for cultural integrity in research.

Learn about a novel research project focused on co-designing culturally appropriate programs to prevent diabetes and heart disease in remote communities, highlighting the collaborative process and the integration of Aboriginal and Torres Islander knowledge.

The panel discussion will delve into the research outcomes, success stories, challenges, and the crucial role of empowering Indigenous Chief Investigators. Engage with the presenters and gain insights into the positive changes within the community through this collaborative approach.
