Abstract
[Extract] This issue of Microbiology Australia covers biomedical research and workforce training in Northern Australia and our northern neighbouring countries. The north of Australia is a tropical region and has a larger representation of Australian First Nations peoples than other States and Territories of Australia. In Australia, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people represent 3.2% of the total Australian population. However, in the Northern Territory, the Australian census (2021) shows that approximately 26.3% of the total population identify as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. This underpins the need for Northern Australia to have continued funding to enable health research, workforce training and health and community services that address the currently unmet and still growing needs of this population demographic.
