The Lowitja Institute recently launched a landmark new publication, ‘Profiling Excellence: Indigenous Knowledge Translation’.

The report was produced by Croakey Professional Services for the Lowitja Institute, and edited by Associate Professor Megan Williams. It brings together a sponsored series of in-depth feature articles.

To mark the launch, Croakey’s rotated Twitter account @WePublicHealth re-tweeted from the webinar, which was moderated by Dr Summer May Finlay, and can be watched here.

Croakey has pioneered an unprecedented role in providing an open forum for the revelation and exchange of thinking on health in Australia. Thanks to the indefatigable Croakey team, we have a place where players from all corners of health can share ideas, news and commentary.

Mark Metherell

Health journalist

Croakey is a must read for anyone who craves the public health stories that no one else reports. A truly independent and critical voice that both exposes health injustices and champions smart solutions to health inequalities.

HUGE congratulations to all the Croakey team on your coverage of our Summit. To say we have been delighted with the event, your coverage and the wash up is an understatement. You did such a fantastic job. I know how much there was to synthesise! I was particularly impressed with the flair and variety in how you approached the various pieces of coverage.

Croakey – Australia’s healthiest news-site!

Mainstream media usually only has the space and time to cover urgent health issues. Croakey has the space, time and expertise to cover the important issues which shape the health environment and our health system, and determine our health experience.

From a crowded inbox, Croakey always leaps to my attention. It delivers views and information on a wide range of issues of relevance to rural and remote health and wellbeing.

Gordon Gregory

Rural health advocate

Croakey has, over some years, provided a platform for debate about health policy, planning, funding and services. There aren’t enough places for these debates, and important issues affecting the health of our community risk going unexplored. Croakey helps to fill this hole. Viva Croakey!

Senior Lecturer, Brain and Mind Centre, Sydney Medical School, University of Sydney

Croakey provides snappy, expert views on the whole spectrum of public health issues, from equity to efficiency, from determinants to prevention to management. A one-stop shop to catch up on pet issues, and discover and adopt new ones.

Professor Jon Karnon

Flinders University

With a health system that is facing unprecedented challenges we need all the courage and all the insight we can get our hands on. Croakey is a space that invites us to to challenge and interrogate our practice and our policy. Croakey’s journalism and activism inspires me to remain optimistic.
