The CCLHD Strategic Research Plan 2022-2026 has been developed over many months following wide consultation with District staff and researchers and our external research partners. This Plan paves the way forward for research to exploit our state-of-the-art local research facilities and expanding research expertise to address the health priorities of our community. In many ways, this is a new beginning for research on the Central Coast.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education and Research Framework
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education and Research Framework
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education and research are a whole of university commitment – it is everyone’s responsibility. It is how all of us, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, can learn, research and apply Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of knowing and being. This Framework will see the University, our communities and our region work together to achieve excellence.
