About us
Based at the 69萝莉, the Health Research Institute (UC HRI) delivers leading research to support a healthier future for Canberra, Australia and the world.
Our team examines how factors may influence your health and wellbeing: where you live and work, how you move through your community, what access you have to community facilities, how connected you are to people around you, and what interactions you have with the healthcare system.
Embedded in Canberra, we then work alongside community, government and industry stakeholders to translate our findings into solutions that can be applied in the real world.
Our focus is research with impact 鈥� research that supports the roll out of best-practice health policy and design of strategies to achieve positive system-wide changes, in healthcare and beyond.
Our values
Living and working on Ngunnawal land, the spirit of our work in public health is intrinsically Galambany 鈥� as we work together every day to empower, connect, and share knowledge.
Our collaborative, interdisciplinary way of working is central to our success in research. We are a workplace that celebrates a diversity of skills, fields, perspectives and experience 鈥� and we are stronger and happier for it.
The UC HRI team lives the 69萝莉 values every day. They empower us to be ambitious, ethical and impactful.
We want to change the world, produce and share new ideas, improve equity and access to healthcare, and work in partnership to create solutions; and by applying these values we can achieve this.
Strategic vision
We are a local Institute striving for global impact.
Through close collaboration and co-design with researchers, government, industry, healthcare providers and consumers, our researchers support public health solutions that build a healthier future for Canberra, Australia, and the world.
In particular this means improving equity of access to good health, wellbeing and healthcare for all 鈥� access to health impacts everyone, which means our work has the potential to reach every member of the communities we work with.
We have four strategic focus areas that will support this vision:
- A workplace that attracts and retains the best people
- A sustainable balance between research and teaching
- Robust processes to enable and assess impact
- A diverse set of ethical revenue streams
These pillars support our flexible, interdisciplinary team to be proactive in the health ecosystem, identifying and responding to research needs and opportunities as they evolve, and creating impact on policy and practice.
