Expressions of interest are now open to attend the Indigenous Datathon 2025 in Brisbane on October 11 and 12.

Co-located with International Data Week 2025, participants can explore real-world questions using data science, guided by the CARE Principles (Collective Benefit, Authority to Control, Responsibility, Ethics) of Indigenous data governance.

The event is being run by the Indigenous Data Network (University of Melbourne), the Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Society (ANZICS), the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW), QUT Centre for Data Science (QUT CDS) and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community Health Service Brisbane (ATSICHS-Brisbane).

Designed for post-graduate students, clinicians, researchers, or emerging data scientists, participants will work in teams to analyse healthcare datasets while learning how to apply ethical, culturally responsive data practices.  

It is an opportunity for participants to sharpen their skills, connect with others, and contribute to meaningful, values-driven solutions. We welcome participants with a wide range of backgrounds and skills who are interested in engaging with health data, but we strongly encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples to apply. 

Numbers are limited to ensure each participant is well supported by mentors, subject domain experts and datathon volunteers.
