Dr John Hunter is an Indigenous Scientia Researcher within the Discipline of Psychiatry and Mental Health, School of Clinical Medicine, University of New South Wales. His home community is based in Greater Western Sydney, being the largest inter-tribal, urban Aboriginal community in Australia. 

His family and community kinship connections are with the Gamilaraay, Wiradjuri and Darkinyung First Nations of NSW. His work focuses on community-based solutions that facilitate self-directed, sovereign change as a means to challenge discrimination and address the marginalisation and disadvantage affecting Aboriginal communities. 

From a methodological position, he uses Indigenous research approaches that support and develop community capacity and cultural restoration through healing, under the frame of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
