Remote Research Impact Workshop

The Remote Research Impact Workshop is a pre-Symposium event that will be held on Tuesday 7 October 2025, 1-5pm. Facilitated by the Remote Health Systems and Climate Change Centre (RHC3) within Menzies School of Health Research, the workshop will explore ways to improve research practice and knowledge translation for impact. Local researchers will share learnings from several place-based remote health systems and climate change research projects and discuss cross-cutting enablers and challenges relevant to conducting research with remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and health services. The intent of the workshop is to provide a forum for participants to exchange experiences, reflections and lessons learned, especially to conduct culturally safe research with remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and organisations in Central and remote Australia.

Participant numbers will be capped to maximise interaction and two-way learning.
