Because of her, we can: NAIDOC Week 2018

As leaders, trailblazers, researchers, teachers, and social change advocates, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women at The Kids fought and continue to fight to bring positive, sustainable change to the health and well-being of Aboriginal children and families.

For NAIDOC Week 2018, we are celebrating their stories and the significant contribution they make to the research at The Kids.

About The Kids

Discover. Prevent. Cure.

The Kids Research Institute Australia is one of the largest and most successful medical research institutes in Australia. We've created a bold blueprint that brings together community, researchers, practitioners, policy makers and funders, who share our vision to improve the health and wellbeing of children through excellence in research.

The Institute is headed by leading paediatrician and infectious diseases expert Professor Jonathan Carapetis, with Founding Director Professor Fiona Stanley now Patron.

The Kids is independent and not-for-profit. The majority of funding comes from our success in winning national and international competitive research grants. We also receive significant philanthropic support from corporate Australia and the community.
