SAHMRI believes in a healthier future for all Australians. We listen to the needs of our communities to deliver research that changes the way healthcare is delivered. Through research excellence, innovation and strategic partnerships, we turn discoveries in health and medical research into impact for the community to improve the lives and health outcomes for all Australians.
Our research focuses on delivering better, more equitable health care across four major themes: striving for Aboriginal Health Equity through Australia’s largest dedicated Indigenous health research unit, tackling chronic diseases across our lifespan in Lifelong Health, investigating why people respond differently to diseases and therapies and deliver targeted treatment options in Precision Cancer Medicine, and improving the health and wellbeing of families through Women and Kids.
