Edith Cowan University’s The Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet is an award winning innovative Internet resource that aims to inform practice and policy in Indigenous health by making research and other knowledge readily accessible. The HealthInfoNet aims to contribute to ‘closing the gap’ in health between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and other Australians.

Our work in the area of translational research with a population health focus – in which we are a world leader – makes research and other information available in a form that has immediate, practical utility for practitioners and policy-makers in the area of Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander health, enabling them to make decisions based on the best available evidence.  

Our web resource makes published, unpublished and specially-developed material about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health freely accessible with the aim of enhancing their knowledge and skills. The HealthInfoNet provides regularly updated overviews, reviews and summaries of Indigenous health status. Materials about specific health topics are freely available, along with contextual information (such as relevant policies and strategies, programs and projects) and clearinghouse functions (details of recent literature and health promotion/practice materials in the area, along with lists of key references and downloadable bibliographies).

Our core functions are made possible by funding from the Australian Department of Health.
