Working in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people

Genomics Australia acknowledges the right of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to self-determination and is committed to building strong, respectful and genuine partnerships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and organisations. We recognise the transformative potential of genomics and the need to ensure equitable access to, and outcomes from, genomics-informed health care, health systems and research.

By working in genuine partnership, we will ensure that the integration of genomics into the Australian health system is culturally safe and reflects the values and priorities of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.  

 

Priority Reforms for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander genomics

The National Agreement on Closing the Gap’s Priority Reforms outline how governments should work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, organisations and communities so that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have a genuine say on policies and programs that impact them.  

In alignment with the Priority Reforms, Genomics Australia will ensure genomics contributes to closing health gaps and improving health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
