In addition to the various partnerships and collaborations already mentioned in this strategic plan, IIPH will work with international partners, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous, to contribute to improving the health and wellbeing of Indigenous Peoples around the globe.

In December 2017, CIHR, the Health Research Council of New Zealand and the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia renewed their commitment to collaborate on health research priorities of Indigenous Peoples. In developing and undertaking future joint initiatives, the three agencies will continue to facilitate the sharing of the expertise, cultures and values of the populations they represent—the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, Māori people and the First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples—to support Indigenous methodological approaches to health and wellbeing research. This will prove especially valuable throughout the partnership as agencies develop a joint action plan and reassess priorities each year. Based on its success in working with Australia and New Zealand, IIPH will explore collaborations with other countries.
