The second annual KAHRA Forum was held in Kununurra in August 2023. The theme was ‘best research practices for positive impacts on health and wellbeing’. There were around 90 attendees from the East and West Kimberley, Northern Territory and Perth, with representation from health services, research organisations and community organisations. Attendees reflected on KAHRA as being the body that upholds a set of principles and standards to ensure research is conducted in the right way that benefits Aboriginal people and communities. Another important reflection was feeling proud to see an Aboriginal research forum led by Aboriginal people and presenters.
