These learnings can be used as a framework to inform future work with other Australian Aboriginal communities.*Our research group works with Aboriginal Peoples from Gamilaraay/Gomeroi country located in the North-western Plains of New South Wales Australia. We recognise the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples from across the many Countries of this place we now call Australia. Recognising this, throughout this text, we have used the preferred term "Aboriginal Peoples".
