Our Work

The aim of Kulunga is to build capacity in Aboriginal research. A team of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal researchers and staff oversee the Aboriginal child and maternal health research programs of the Institute.

Kulunga aspires to a model of research and practice that is of the highest value in bringing the ideas and experiences of Aboriginal communities and the research expertise of Aboriginal people together in a world class, multi-disciplinary research setting.

Our firm belief is that improvements to the lives of Aboriginal children through sustainable, community owned research effort will have far-reaching impacts on the lives of our families and future generations.

While Kulunga is still only a small team, it is now larger and more stable than at any other time in its history.

Kulunga’s work is focused on four core areas of activity:

1. Research
2. Capacity Building
3. Information Dissemination
4. Advocacy
