Impact and outcomes
Turning health research into real world impact
The Research Translation Centres unite health services, primary health care, research institutes, universities and government agencies. Together they translate research into best practice, leading to sustainable improvements in patient care and health outcomes for individuals and communities.
Working collaboratively to improve clinical trials, health services and clinical practice
The Research Translation Centres work collaboratively across disciplines, sectors and institutions to drive efficiencies in clinical trials and ensure health service led research.
Providing education and training
Committed to building capacity and capability in research and research translation, the Research Translation Centres deliver targeted training and education programs.
Involving end-users in research design
The Research Translation Centres engage with a range of end-users including clinicians, consumers and communities to co-design research, ensuring it and its outcomes are relevant and applicable to improving the health of all Australians.
In 2024 the Australian Health Research Alliance facilitated a series of Australia-wide stakeholder engagement sessions as part of the review of the Statement on Consumer and Community Involvement in Health and Medical Research.
