This project measured the benefits that the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of Groote Eylandt gain when they go ‘on-country’. Prior research shows that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people gain important mental and physical health benefits when they engage in ‘caring for country’ activities, and we believe that many of these same benefits will also emerge when people are on-country.
