Our research responds to existing and emerging complex health challenges in Australia and globally. We harness cross-disciplinary partnerships, innovation and a health system-level approach to improve health for all.

Research priorities

The rise of complex population health challenges in Australia and globally calls for bold solutions and the willingness to challenge the status quo. Our research is tackling the leading population health priorities with a single goal in mind – to identify solutions that can have the greatest impact and directly benefit those who need them most.

Protecting our people and our planet

Protecting our people and our planet is a major priority for the School of Population Health. We tackle the complex challenges of disease, injury and trauma and crisis response. Our researchers are solving tomorrow’s threats to our planet today.

Transforming health systems

We aim to improve the design, organisation and delivery of healthcare. Our projects cover quality and safety, governance and reform, translation of new treatments into care, and financing and economic evaluation of health services across the entire health system.

Enhancing community health and equity

Our research addresses issues of equity and social justice. We tackle global health challenges through applied research to improve equity in communities locally and around the world.

Our specialist techniques and tools

Our mission is to deliver research excellence that impacts health at scale. We do this by harnessing strengths across UNSW, and cross-cutting research techniques and tools within the School of Population Health.
