Abstract

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (hereafter, respectfully, Aboriginal) families, communities and societies have thrived across Australia for millennia.1 Yet, historical practices and the policies of Australian and jurisdictional governments since colonisation have contributed to disparities in health and social outcomes experienced by Aboriginal communities in contemporary Australia.2 For example, Aboriginal people experience a much higher burden of chronic disease.3 This includes higher rates of chronic kidney disease (CKD), with almost one in five Aboriginal adults showing biomedical signs of CKD in Australia.4 Mortality rates for kidney disease are 3.9 times higher for Aboriginal people than the non-Indigenous Australian population.5
