Indigenous Data Network

The IDN is led by the Indigenous Studies Unit at Onemda, within the Melbourne School of Population and Global Health at the University of Melbourne. The Indigenous Data Network (IDN) is a national initiative that supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in leading the design, governance, and use of data that reflects their cultural values, priorities, and knowledge systems. It brings together a broad coalition of participants: Aboriginal community-controlled organisations, university research partners, industry and government agencies and departments across Commonwealth, state, and territory level. Improving Indigenous Research Capabilities is a co-investment partnership with the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) through the HASS and Indigenous Research Data Commons (DOI: 10.3565/pr3g-s109). The ARDC is enabled by the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS). Please click on a link below to read more about the IDN and out work.
