OUR MISSION

To conduct world leading, collaborative research that bridges disciplines, organisations, sectors and nations, and that translates into new knowledge, products and workforces that can meet challenges facing the global healthcare sector.

OUR VISION

Empowering healthy lives through technology

OUR PRINCIPLES

Innovation

We do things differently. We foster innovation through the ways that we work, the people that we work with and our commitment to challenge the status quo. We lead – through our ideas and the creative ways we apply them.

Partnership

End-users are key, as are the industry organisations who will take the products to market. They shape our research agenda and seed product ideas, test research outcomes, and engage in ongoing learning.

Integrity

Our results are meaningful and evidenced based. Our solutions are widely accessible and serve the needy and vulnerable in our society. Our integrity is evident in the work that we do, our measures of success and the relationships we form.

Impact

Our work is translated – into new methods, products, companies, jobs and talent, which ultimately change our healthcare practices and improve lives. We engage early with partners and end-users, identifying clear outcomes and designing knowledge translation and implementation models that make it easy for our research to be adopted.
