The National Indigenous Kidney Transplantation Taskforce: changing systems to achieve equitable access to kidney transplantation

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with chronic kidney disease seek good health, good kidney health, and good experiences of health care at all stages of their kidney journeys. Kidney replacement therapy is crucial for people with kidney failure, so needs to be accessed regularly, safely and sustainably alongside high quality cultural and clinical support. However, access to kidney transplantation, often the best kidney replacement therapy option, is not equally available to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Australia.
