Her Story lead on the Central Australian component of the Caring About Care research, which explores the scope, nature, and value of care work performed by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women, emphasising their conceptualisation of care as a source of personal and cultural strength. Conducted in partnership with Aboriginal organisations across diverse Australian regions, the study utilised interviews, time-use surveys, and ABS data to analyse unpaid care work. Findings highlight how colonialism has exacerbated care loads and how mainstream definitions of care marginalise Indigenous perspectives, which deeply intertwine care with family, community, culture, and Country. Indigenous women often balance substantial unpaid care with community-focused paid work, yet their contributions remain undervalued. The report advocates for a transformative approach to policy which centres Indigenous women's voices and care practices.
