The CRC for Aboriginal Health is a
collaborative research organisation that brings together Aboriginal
organisations, research institutions and government agencies to
deliver health-related programs to Aboriginal people.
With 12 core
partners and four associate
partners, the CRC for Aboriginal Health aims
to:
- promote high-quality research through
increased Aboriginal control of the health research agenda and
through partnerships with key stakeholders in the Aboriginal health
sector, government agencies and research institutions;
- undertake strategic research to investigate
health conditions, health service delivery systems and the social
determinants of health;
- ensure the effective transfer of research
findings into policy and practice to improve
primary healthcare, to build sustainable prevention and to reduce
the disease burden on Aboriginal people;
- build capacity in Aboriginal
people to allow greater control of health research through
increased formal education and training opportunities;
- advocate in line with our
communications strategy for research-informed changes to the
delivery of health services to Aboriginal people.
