Rebecca Murray (Nixon/Chatfield) is a proud Aboriginal woman with family connections to the Kamilaroi and Wailwan peoples. She is currently undertaking a Master of Philosophy in Applied Epidemiology (MAE) at the Australian National University (ANU), where her research is focused on addressing health inequities experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in cancer care. Rebecca’s primary research project contributes to the Kulay Kalingka Study, a national Indigenous-led initiative that investigates experiences of racism, discrimination, and wellbeing among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples affected by cancer. Rebecca’s work highlights the need for anti-racist, culturally safe healthcare systems and data practices that prioritise community leadership. Prior to her MAE, Rebecca was the Site Coordinator for the What Matters 2 Adults (WM2A) project from 2022 to 2023. This project was delivered in partnership with South Western Sydney Local Health District Cancer Services, Cancer Institute NSW, The University of Queensland, and The University of Sydney, under the guidance of Professor Gail Garvey and Professor Kirsten Howard. The study, explored the role of culture and wellbeing in the health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults. In this role, Rebecca was responsible for administering the WM2A measure to cancer patients, ensuring that data collection was respectful, culturally safe, and grounded in the values of participants. Rebecca has also contributed to academic knowledge translation, with two posters presented at national and international conferences—the 2023 Cancer Innovation Conference and the 2024 World Indigenous Cancer Conference. In 2024, she celebrated the publication of her first academic paper, a milestone that reflects her commitment to advancing Indigenous-led research in cancer care and public health. Starting out in NSW Health, South West Sydney Local Health District as an Aboriginal trainee and then later as Aboriginal Health Worker, Rebecca brings both professional expertise and lived experience to her work. She is deeply committed to ensuring that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices are central in health research and policy development. Her work continues to focus on Indigenous data sovereignty, culturally responsive care, and systemic reform.
