N1 - Funding Information: We acknowledge and thank the Australian Government, represented by the Department of Health and Aged Care, for their funding of the National Indigenous Kidney Transplantation Taskforce (NIKTT) through an Indigenous Australians’ Health Programme grant. This funding enabled the work described here to be undertaken, as well as the publication of the supplement that accompanies this issue of the MJA. We thank the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living with kidney disease and transplantation who have worked with the NIKTT. We acknowledge that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Australia face inequities in accessing transplantation because of the barriers that exist within our health care system due to the lasting and ongoing impacts of colonisation. We thank everyone who has helped us to work towards improving access to transplantation. We thank and acknowledge the dedicated members of the NIKTT who have walked with us for the past few years, as well as the partner organisations and societies with whom we work on advancing access to kidney transplantation.
