Members Community
As Australia's only national Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community controlled health research organisation, Lowitja Institute places Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge and cultural understanding at the heart of our research process and outcomes.

Be part of a vibrant, engaged network of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander professionals and non-Indigenous allies as we work towards realising Dr Lowitja O’Donoghue’s vision.
We invite Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander individuals and non-Indigenous allies who share our values to connect, grow, and lead change in health research.
Together, we:
- support the growth and development of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health research workforce
- create impactful, community-driven outcomes that centralise and amplify voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and communities
- advocate for equity, self-determination, and systems change in policy and practice
Join our Members Community to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander-led health research that puts our communities first.
