Funded Activity Summary

Australia has the highest Indigenous incarceration rate in the OECD which impacts profoundly on Indigenous communities. Further, offender populations endure a greater health burden compared with the general community. This grant develops much needed capacity in offender health research, building a team of Indigenous researchers, and creating an Australia-wide network for sharing knowledge in this field. Outcomes will include better Indigenous offender health services and improved health and wellbeing for this marginalised population.
