The National Indigenous Kidney Transplantation Taskforce (NIKTT) was established in 2019 by the Commonwealth Department of Health to improve access to, and outcomes of, kidney transplantation for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Over the past three years, the NIKTT has created a national network of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patient experts and their carers and communities, alongside clinical and research advocates, who share in the mission of enhancing the cultural safety of kidney services and improving their accessibility to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, thus improving kidney transplantation waitlisting numbers and increasing the rate of kidney transplantation.
The National Indigenous Kidney Transplantation Taskforce aims to improve access to, and outcomes of, kidney transplantation for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples by:
1. Creating networks and empowering communities
2. Collecting data to examine waitlisting barriers
3. Piloting new models of care
4. Investigating how to address cultural bias
