Grounded in community, united nationally, connected globally.

AHRA facilitates the integration of healthcare, health and medical research, and health professional education to deliver better health outcomes for all Australians. Our members comprise seven accredited Advanced Health Research and Translation Centres and three Centres for Innovation in Regional Health.

The Centres brings together acute health services, community health services, primary care, research institutes, universities and government to translate research into best practice to improve patient care and health outcomes for the population. We are located throughout Australia and our member Centres collectively encompass over 90% of researchers and 80% of acute health care services in the country, which provides significant opportunity for coordinated, national, action.  Involvement of communities, consumers, patients, families and carers ensures solutions are based on knowledge and understanding of the specific challenges they face.

We are working on a wide range of projects both locally and nationally, including key national system level initiatives and research networks. These activities are primarily funded by the Australian Government’s Medical Research Future Fund and align with national and government priorities.
