Driving change to improve Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander kidney health [ 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2025 ]

Research Grant

Brief description The burden of kidney disease affecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities is devastating. Community members prioritise prevention of kidney disease, early detection and treatment to stop progression to dialysis. In remote areas, people requiring dialysis have to move away from their family and supports. This work will focus on innovative ways to address this disparity to improve care, treatment and services for Indigenous people living with kidney disease.
