Indigenous Datathon 2025
October 11 - October 12
Join 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) for an Indigenous Datathon.
The event will see participants explore real-world questions using data science, guided by the CARE Principles (Collective Benefit, Authority to Control, Responsibility, Ethics) of Indigenous data governance.
Participants will work in teams to analyse datasets on healthcare while learning how to apply ethical, culturally responsive data practices. Whether you are a student, clinician, researcher, or emerging data scientist, this is a chance to sharpen your 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, though we strongly encourage the participation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Numbers are limited to ensure each participant is well supported by mentors, subject domain experts and datathon volunteers.
