Australian Research Council Indigenous Forum

The ARC Indigenous Forum is a designated committee under section 30 of the ARC Act. It is a key advisory body to the ARC Board, assisting its work to strengthen Indigenous leadership and research in Australia’s higher education sector. It comprises Indigenous representatives including eminent academics, industry and community/research end users, and early and mid-career researchers. The Indigenous Forum has been established by the Minister to provide advice to the ARC Board on the ARC’s strategic agenda as it relates to: • Opportunities for engagement between Indigenous researchers and the ARC to increase the benefits flowing from publicly funded Indigenous research. • Supporting the translation pipeline for Indigenous research. • Future-focused strategies impacting Indigenous research, researchers and communities. • Assessing the quality, engagement and impact of Indigenous research.
