Frequently asked questions

 

 

Why does the Institute have a separate Indigenous research area?
Aboriginal children and their families face a far greater burden in terms of poor health and general wellbeing. The Institute is home to the Kulunga Research Network which not only facilitates indigenous research, it also has an important capacity building role in training the next generation of Aboriginal researchers. The Institute has also published four volumes of results from the Western Australian Aboriginal Child Health Survey which is the largest research project of its kind, interviewing the families and teachers of more than 5000 Aboriginal children.
