It was wonderful to sit down with @gedkearney to talk about the NIKTT's plans for the next 5 years, and what it will take to bring about #TransplantationEquity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
SAHMRI was honoured to welcome the Hon Ged Kearney MP, Assistant Minister for Health and Aged Care and Assistant Minister for Indigenous Health. The Assistant Minister met with some of our researchers about the National Indigenous Kidney Transplantation Taskforce.

Amazing work by @NIKTTaskforce and Kelli J Owen!! Did you know that since the NIKTT was established, more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been waitlisted for a transplant, and more people have received a transplant? #KidneyWk @ASNKidney @cansolveckd

Inequity of kidney treatment within Australia — only 15 in one hundred Indigenous Australians recieve a transplant. An ongoing impact of colonisation… @NIKTTaskforce created to transform the system #AusPH2024 @_PHAA_ @_PHAA_WA
