Description of the artwork: by Jordan Lovegrove, Indigenous Artist
The artwork (top of page) for the National Health and Medical Research Council's work with Indigenous health and medical research communicates empowerment of people over their health, the progression of learning and knowledge out from the meeting place (NHMRC - bottom left corner), where many people are gathered. In the streams there are the sources of nutrition and health - ants, berry bush and fish, as well as stars which symbolise new ideas.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Research Snapshots
In 2002 NHMRC set the target of spending five percent of the Medical Research Endowment Account on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health in response to the Health is Life: Report on the Inquiry into Indigenous Health (2002). In 2008 NHMRC reached this target of funding and has since exceeded. More information on funding and activities are below.
