The First Nations Health and Welfare Group provides leadership, both internally and externally to the AIHW, as well as analysis and reporting of information and statistics about the health and welfare of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

• Undertake statistical analyses and apply advanced analytical techniques, including Bayesian modelling, to generate robust insights from large and complex data sources.
• Collaborate with external expert advisors and communicate with advisory group members to develop, refine and validate methodologies, and to support the interpretation and communication of analytical findings.

• Respond to stakeholder information requests and build productive working relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
• Manage competing priorities and contributing to multiple projects in a dynamic, collaborative team environment.
