Research Grounded in Community and Culture
In line with our values, ‘innovation and continuous improvement’ and strategic priority five ‘shared knowledge’, KAMS is committed to supporting a resourceful health system driven by research and innovation.
KAMS is a leader in community-driven, culturally secure, high-quality health and wellbeing research.
Our embedded research team includes Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal researchers who work alongside Aboriginal communities across the region to identify the issues that matter to them. Our researchers strive to collaborate with community members and local organisations to co-design research projects with which centre Aboriginal ways of knowing, being, and doing.
Our research projects have real-world impact. They support us to: collect and protect Aboriginal health data, design contemporary best practice service models and programs, deliver culturally safe services, generate meaningful health and wellbeing outcomes for Aboriginal people, and drive innovation on a local, state, and national level.
