Amazing work by National Indigenous Kidney Transplant Taskforce and Kelli J Owen!! Did you know that since the NIKTT was established, more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been waitlisted for a transplant, and more people have received a transplant? #KidneyWk American Society of Nephrology Can-SOLVE CKD Network - Le rƩseau Can-SOLVE CKD


NIKTT welcomes the new Australian Dept of Health, Disability and Ageing Strategy. This is a great opportunity to close the gap in kidney transplantation access for Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people. Implementation will be key & we're committed to working with partners to bring these priorities to life.

On Australian Dept of Health, Disability and Ageingās National Strategy release, Ged Kearney said: āWe need to improve health outcomes among First Nations people, and this includes reducing barriers to accessing organ transplantationā We couldnāt agree more! #TransplantationEquity health.gov.au/resources/publā¦


It was wonderful to sit down with Ged Kearney to talk about the NIKTT's plans for the next 5 years, and what it will take to bring about #TransplantationEquity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
