The Australian Government is now in caretaker period. During this time, updates on this website will be published in accordance with the Guidance on Caretaker Conventions, until after the election.
We publish corporate plans and annual reports in line with the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013. Our corporate plan sets our direction and objectives. Our annual report shows how we have performed in achieving our objectives. Find a list below of corporate documents dating back to 1938.
Corporate plan
Our corporate plan presents our national strategy for health and medical research aligned with our 3 strategic purposes – investment, translation and integrity. It includes strategic and health priorities and outlines our planned key activities over the next 4 years. It also describes the operating context in which we work. And our performance criteria and targets for that period.
Find our most recent corporate plans at Publications.
Annual reports
