The International Indigenous Health and Wellbeing Conference, hosted by the Lowitja Institute, is a biennial event attracting a global audience committed to sharing knowledge for the health and wellbeing of Indigenous peoples and communities from around the world. It is a space for sharing innovative ideas and transformational research grounded in our ways of knowing, being and doing.

The 4th International Indigenous Health and Wellbeing Conference 2025 theme is Strong, Fearless, Together and honours the legacy of our co-patron and namesake, the late Dr Lowitja O’Donoghue AC CBE DSG.

With unwavering courage and grace, Dr O’Donoghue’s legacy drives this year’s theme to stand STRONG, be FEARLESS and work TOGETHER for the health and wellbeing of Indigenous peoples. As Dr O’Donoghue once told us, the future is in our hands, and we all have a big job to do.
