It was wonderful to sit down with @gedkearney 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
#NIKTT Co-Chair @NephMcDonald talking about implementing change in #KidneyTransplantation for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people at this year’s @BEAT_CKD workshop
On @healthgovau’s National Strategy release, @gedkearney said:
“We need to improve health outcomes among First Nations people, and this includes reducing barriers to accessing organ transplantation”
We couldn’t agree more!

NIKTT welcomes the new @healthgovau 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.

Amazing work by @NIKTTaskforce 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 @ASNKidney @cansolveckd

Inequity of kidney treatment within Australia — only 15 in one hundred Indigenous Australians recieve a transplant. An ongoing impact of colonisation… @NIKTTaskforce created to transform the system #AusPH2024 @_PHAA_ @_PHAA_WA

Despite excellent graft and recipient survival, a lower proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children received kidney transplants within 5 yrs of dialysis initiation compared to their non-Indigenous peers:
