Objectives

The Koori Centre provides and promotes high quality, culturally appropriate and effective research activities and outcomes.

Fostering formal and informal relationships with Indigenous Australian groups, community and professional bodies is an important part of ensuring that research projects undertaken with the Koori Centre have the potential to directly or indirectly meet community needs, pertaining to the broader aim of addressing social justice and human rights issues.

The Koori Centre is keen to develop research partnerships with organisations and industry and to expand its networks with Indigenous and non-Indigenous academics both locally and internationally.
