The Mayi Kuwayu National Study of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Wellbeing has been created by and for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. This ground-breaking new study will ask what culture means to our people, and to create an understanding of how culture affects our wellbeing including health outcomes. Our people and communities have been saying for a long time that strong culture is vital to our health and wellbeing. However, there is a lack of evidence that shows how and why this may be so. The Mayi Kuwayu Study aims to provide this evidence.

This paper forms part of the Mayi Kuwayu Study development. In Ngiyampaa language (the language of the Wongaibon people of western NSW), broadly translated, Mayi Kuwayu means to follow Aboriginal people over a long time. The development of Mayi Kuwayu is funded by the Lowitja Institute (Research Activity 1344) and hosted at the ANU. The findings and views we report are our own and should not be attributed to the Lowitja Institute or the ANU.
