The Melbourne Poche Centre for Indigenous Health sits within the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences at the University of Melbourne.

Our work is guided by Tanderrum. Tanderrum is a Kulin ceremony for coming together through place, relationships and futures.

Day to day, the Centre is led by Professor Shawana Andrews and guided by our strategic advisory board.
