CRCATSIH Program Leaders

Each of the CRC for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health’s three research program areas is overseen by two Program Leaders, at least one of whom is Indigenous.

Program Leaders are appointed by the Board to advise on good research practice and how best to ensure the research is used. They bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the CRCATSIH research programs and are strong advocates for community-driven research. They include researchers and representatives from community and government organisations.

Program Leaders work closely with Program Managers, who are responsible for monitoring the progress of individual projects.
