The Kids Research Institute Australia is committed to being
champions of gender equity, diversity, and inclusivity.
We actively encourage
applications from people of all ages, nationalities, abilities, and cultures, including:
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people with diverse genders, sexes and sexualities and people living with disability.
As such we are a proud Bronze award recipient of the first
Australian Athena Swan Science in Australia Gender Equity

We acknowledge that when working in environments which contribute to the health
and wellbeing of Aboriginal people, it is imperative that Aboriginal people are
at the forefront of this work.
We have launched the Aboriginal Employment and
Career Development Strategy to increase the number of Aboriginal
and Torres Strait Islander staff, students and researchers employed in the
Institute who provide guidance and support in our work in Aboriginal health.
