Thinking of Joining the NIKTT Network? Here's What You Need to Know
What is the NIKTT Network?
The NIKTT Community of Interest Network (NIKTT Network) is a diverse group of stakeholders committed to improving access to kidney transplantation for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Currently, the Network functions as an interest register rather than a formalised committee with appointed roles and scheduled meetings. As interest grows, it may evolve to include more structure, with appointed representatives who will lead coordinated action and advise on national strategies to improve equity in transplantation.
