In this article, we briefly explore the implications of LGBTQA+SB erasure in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health research for decolonisation, policy and practice. We outline approaches to collecting quantitative data, examples of Indigenous research that did identify LGBTQA+SB participants and potential challenges for data collection. Ultimately, we argue that decolonisation requires re\u2010thinking how we define sex, sexuality and gender, unsettling Western biomedical norms that are pervasive in health research.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5694\/mja2.70320","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,16]],"date-time":"2026-10-16T12:14:44Z","timestamp":1792152884000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Decolonising Indigenous Health Research Requires Redefining Sex, Sexuality and Gender"],"prefix":"10.5694","volume":"224","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-7467-7976","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shakara","family":"Liddelow\u2010Hunt","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health &amp; Society La Trobe University  Melbourne Victoria Australia"},{"name":"Youth Mental Health The Kids Research Institute Australia  Nedlands Western Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James","family":"H.
