The Remedy Project

The Remedy Project explores music as a primary cultural determinant of health for First Nations communities.

The Remedy Project honours the role of music as a natural “remedy” in cultural healing and ceremony that has happened over Millennia in First Nations communities.

Music is something that First Nations People have been practising for millennia to care for one another and Country, teach, communicate, lobby for change, resist, advocate, express and heal.

The Remedy Project adopts a strength-based approach to explore musical activity as a cultural strength and resource for promoting First Nations health, wellbeing and healing.

The project partners are Griffith University, University of the Sunshine Coast, University of Queensland and Edith Cowan University.

Resources, stories, podcasts and more detail about the research team can be found at THE REMEDY PROJECT.
