Funded Activity Summary

Shaping Australia’s Aboriginal Health Services: Politics, power and people. This project aims to provide the first comprehensive Aboriginal-owned and -authored history of the national Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services network – comprised of 150 local primary health providers and recognised as critical to ‘closing the gap’ in Aboriginal disadvantage. Using unique archives and a custom web portal to support distance research, the project expects to capture hidden histories of participants, philosophies and events. The innovative, community-led research processes will contribute to Aboriginal research capacity and engagement through academic-community partnerships and highly validated historical accounts. This should lay foundations for improved and engaged policy responses in health and education.
