Building inclusive and respectful health futures
The National Indigenous Australians Agency (NIAA) plays a central role in shaping and delivering government policies and programs for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Working with NIAA ensures genomics is aligned with broader national commitments to equity, cultural safety and Closing the Gap priorities.
NIAA’s expertise helps guide our approach to embedding Indigenous leadership and shared decision-making to create pathways for culturally safe genomics in health services and research.
Working together means genomics can contribute meaningfully to national goals, while respecting community rights. We ensure that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices and priorities remain at the centre of how genomics develops in Australia.
