Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Research

Thank you for supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Research

Thanks to your kind donations, and significant support from the Aspen Foundation, over $40,000 was raised through Gifting Day to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Research.

Did you know that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are twice as likely to die before their fifth birthday or experience a disability or other long-term health condition, than non-Indigenous Australians? ¹

These health challenges need urgent attention and action, and who better to address this than Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health researchers? The University of Newcastle is committed to an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander led and community informed approach to solving some of the biggest health challenges in our communities.

Thanks to your support, we can forge a fairer future. Your donation supports more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander led and community informed health research that delivers life-changing outcomes.
