Community-led Health Promotion in the Torres Strait

With rates of chronic diseases skyrocketing throughout the isolated communities of the Torres Straits, Maluilgal (the tribal people of Badu, Mabuiag and Moa Islands) are calling for urgent action to restore wellness. As a Torres Strait Islander researcher and recognised national leader in Indigenous health promotion, Associate Professor Karla Canuto has been endorsed by Tribal leads to lead a program of work to restore health through community-led evidence-based health promotion initiatives.
