Aim: The Centre of Research Excellence in Indigenous Health and Alcohol aims to create the best opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to find solutions to alcohol problems through research. The Centre's research agenda is based on priorities of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health professionals and communities, and informed by what is already known through research. This symposium will showcase some of the work being conducted by this Centre. It will conclude with a ‘question and answer’ session facilitated by Adjunct Associate Professor Scott Wilson.
