Who we are

The CRC for Aboriginal Health was established in 2003 following in the footsteps of the CRC for Aboriginal and Tropical Health.

The CRC for Aboriginal Health is a virtual organisation that brings together the Aboriginal health sector, government health agencies and research institutions to ensure that research conducted into Aboriginal health:

• is driven by priorities set by Aboriginal people themselves;
• is of practical use and transferred expeditiously in an accessible form to the Aboriginal health sector; and
• results in the development of research capacity within the Aboriginal community itself.

The CRC for Aboriginal Health is governed by an Aboriginal-majority board with representation from all its core partners.
