Research centres

Australian Institute for Primary Care and Ageing

We conduct a range of research activities that include evaluation/applied research, systematic reviews, policy analysis, analysis of large data sets, the ethical use of assistive technology, and knowledge transfer. Key areas of interest are health system and services (with a focus on the aged care and primary health sectors in particular, and the role of e-health across the health service delivery platform), as well as consumer participation and self-determination.

Australian Research Centre for Sex Health and Society

We are a leading national and international centre for social research into sexuality, health, and the social dimensions of human relationships. We work collaboratively and in partnership with communities, community-based organisations, government and professionals in relevant fields to produce research that promotes positive change in policy, practice and people’s lives.

Mother and Child Health Research Centre

We are a multidisciplinary public health research centre focussing on major issues for mothers and children. Our research contributes to policy development and postgraduate and continuing education. We also provide advice and resources to researchers in related fields.
