SESSION RECORDING
The Gunnu-maana (Heal) Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Program at The George Institute drives meaningful and ethical research and advocacy to transform the health and wellbeing of First Nations peoples and communities. This breakfast session facilitated impactful discussions with stories and learnings around effective partnerships with Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services and creating equitable and culturally safe health care delivery.
This session demonstrated that research integrity is underpinned by equity, transparency and self-determination, and exemplified the importance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of knowing, being and doing to generate evidence that privileges Indigenous knowledges and translates to actions that empower peoples and communities.
