Research

The School has a vibrant and active research culture, evidenced in the work of our many research students (currently over 100 enrolled) and academic staff, our significant track record of publications, our successful history of research grants, and the trans-disciplinary backgrounds and experience of our academic and research staff. In addition to academic staff based in the School, our many conjoint staff and those within our affiliated Research Centres contribute significantly to our research profile. Our projects range in scope from randomised controlled trials to qualitative studies, and are funded by many sources including NHMRC and ARC.

Our research is strongly underpinned by a commitment to addressing issues around equity and social justice, and is focused on finding real life solutions to the increasingly complex problems faced by populations, practitioners and policy makers. Much of the research we do is highly collaborative, drawing upon a variety of disciplinary backgrounds ensuring a dynamic and challenging intellectual basis for research of the highest quality.
