The National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) has initiated a two-phase consultation process to determine a strategic framework for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health research. The first stage involved the development of a draft document that is being circulated for written comment among a range of stakeholders.

In the second stage a series of four workshops, attended by researchers and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and their representatives, will be conducted to refine the research issues described in the consultation paper. The first of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Research Agenda Working Group (RAWG) workshops was held at the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research in Perth on 29-30 July 2002.

A final report will bring together the outcomes of this two-phase consultation process and will be presented back to the NHMRC to determine national research priorities.
