Our policy priorities
Lowitja Institute identifies and pursues policy priorities alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations, researchers, and communities. These priorities inform policy position papers, discussion papers, submissions and briefs, roundtables, and presentations.
Our policy priorities are developed both internally, from outcomes of commissioned research or Lowitja Institute-led roundtable discussions, and externally, as they link to current or emerging government policy contexts and topics within the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health sector.
Current core policy priorities:
- Cultural safety in health policy and programs
- Climate change and health
- Cultural and social determinants of health
- Racism in health systems
- Ethics for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health research
