Is our research really making a difference?

Despite the recognition of the need for more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander researchers to work in ways and areas that positively impact on our life circumstances, the rate of progress remains frustratingly slow. This presentation will focus on questions around whether our priorities could be refined so the impact of our work is greater sooner. It will also ponder questions about where financial investment should be made in research and the practical work that follows.
