Lowitja Institute Members Community

Building on more than 20 years of work, the Lowitja Institute is now entering an exciting new phase, extending our reach and impact through the Lowitja Institute Members Community. The network will comprise the core group of people and organisations with the drive and ethics to realise Dr O’Donoghue’s vision. We will work together to make a real difference to the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and continue to lead research that privileges the knowledge and place of Australia’s First Nations.

The Lowitja Institute Members Community will include:

• Full Member Organisations: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations committed to the purpose and values of the Lowitja Institute
• Associate Organisations: Non-Indigenous organisations committed to the purpose and values of the Lowitja Institute
• Lowitja Institute Scholars: Lowitja Institute Scholarship recipients, past and present (Alumni)
• Associate Researchers: Researchers making a contribution to the vision and purpose of the Lowitja Institute.

You can apply to join the Members Community at the Members Community online portal.

If you have any queries, or need more information, please contact us by email at members@lowitja.org.au.

The Members Community supports the recent changes in the Lowitja Institute Constitution that establish the Institute as an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community controlled organisation, having ceased operating in 2019 as a Cooperative Research Centre (CRC).
