        STARS

        The Supporting Training of Aboriginal Researchers Staff program (STARS) is a diverse program with flexible awards to equip the next generation of Aboriginal leaders in our community.

        Welcome to STARS (Supporting Training of Aboriginal Researchers and Staff)

        The health of Aboriginal kids is everyone’s business.

        By recognising and building on the strengths and lived experiences of Aboriginal staff, students and researchers across the Institute, we will be able to develop and deliver initiatives that positively impact Aboriginal families and communities.

        To achieve this, it is imperative Aboriginal people are at the forefront of all strategies and research projects targeted at influencing Aboriginal health outcomes.

        STARS is a significant step in supporting the development of Aboriginal staff, researchers, and students across the Institute.

        "If we're going to resolve, respond and heal we need young Aboriginal people to join us on this journey, in whatever capacity, to continue the work that we're starting today."

        — Glenn Pearson, Director, Aboriginal Health
