About Poche Centre

The UQ Poche Centre for Indigenous Health was established following a $10 million donation to UQ from Mr Greg Poche AO and Mrs Kay van Norton Poche AO. The Centre brings together Indigenous and health expertise and works collaboratively with Indigenous community organisations and health providers to transform Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ experiences of injustice and inequity in health and wellbeing. The UQ Poche Centre works in urban, regional and remote settings across Australia, and with other Indigenous peoples internationally. With a mandate to respond to challenges in Indigenous health, the Centre undertakes and facilitates a broad range of transdisciplinary research activities as well as developing a next generation of researchers to rise to the challenge of Indigenous health research.
