Infectious disease, immunity and inflammation (Triple I)
Communicable diseases headline the global burden of disease and produce enormous suffering and major economic impact. Inflammatory and immune diseases also contribute substantially to global disease burden. Some tried-and-true treatments for infectious diseases are no longer effective and new approaches to treatment are in desperate demand. A better understanding of…
Respiratory, Sleep, Environmental and Occupational Health
Respiratory disease is prevalent across the world and a major cause of morbidity and mortality. There has also been an increase in lung disease caused by environmental and occupational factors. Sleep disorder breathing problems and related conditions are also on the rise. This places our Respiratory, Sleep, Environmental and Occupational…
Palliative Care
Over the years, there has been an increasing need for end-of-life and palliative care in Australia. There are also more people receiving care in hospitals than at home, despite the majority preferring to stay at home. In addition, people living outside major cities or in lower socio-economic communities have less…
Neuroscience, Mental Health and Addiction
Brain disorders, mental illness and substance misuse present some of the world’s most complex health challenges. Together, they represent the highest burden of disease in the world. And the problem is getting worse. Shifts in population distribution, poor translation of interventions and unclear solutions are getting in the way of…
Musculoskeletal Health
Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions are the second largest contributor to disability worldwide. The impact of MSK disease on a persons every day life in terms of cost, morbidity and mortality is significant. This burden of disease is comparable to cardiac disese and affects approximately 70% of Australians aged 45-64 years. The…
Maternal, Newborn and Women’s
Women, newborns and their families should receive the best possible care, based on the best available evidence. Families and women should also be able to choose care that’s appropriate to their specific situation and local environment. And professional and consumer groups should endorse this level of care. In reality, this…
Creating healthy futures
Chronic illness affects every aspect of a child’s life. From school achievement and disrupted social networks, to psychological distress and poor physical health. These ‘whole of life’ problems reduce a child’s ability to achieve their potential as an adult, putting a burden on their family. Management of chronic illness in…
Healthy Urban Environments
A few years ago, the United Nations announced that we are an urban planet. More than 50% of earthlings live in cities. This is certainly true for Greater Sydney. In fact, the number of urbanites here is expected to double by 2050. Urban living, infrastructure and planning impact on our…
Genetic conditions
1 in 12 Australians are affected by a genetic condition. Whilst individual genetic conditions are rare, most patients are either undiagnosed or not diagnosed early enough, and this negatively impacts their quality of life.
Frontiers Technology
Technology is everywhere and it’s evolving at a rapid pace. However, in healthcare it often takes significant time for translation into clinical practice. As with important medical discoveries, it can take up to 17 years for just 14% of clinical innovations to be put to use in practice* and yet…
Early Life Determinants
In Australia, 20% of children start school without the developmental capabilities to thrive. This number increases to 40% in vulnerable populations. These kids grow into adults who struggle with their jobs, health and social lives. This costs Australia billions of dollars each year. The earlier we can identify developmental delays,…
Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolic Disease
Diabetes is the leading burden of disease in Australia. The severity of the disease varies, adversely affecting those from poorer socio-economic backgrounds. Evidence suggests that the size of the problem has been underestimated by up to 50%.
Cardiac and Vascular Health
Cardiac and vascular diseases (including cerebrovascular disease, peripheral artery disease, microvascular diseases involving the kidney, eye and nerves, and related conditions such as diabetes) are the leading causes of death in Australia and most countries around the world. They are also responsible for substantial ill-health and create a massive financial…
Cancer
18 million people will be diagnosed with cancer this year. Research and its translation into clinical care means many more people are surviving and will be cured. However, there is still a lot more work to do. Our Cancer CAG has a vision to create a partnership that unites cancer…
Age & Ageing
The average life expectancy in Australia is 81.5 years. This is among the highest in the world. The question is, what are the implications of an ageing population? And how do we ensure our health system is future-focused and sustainable?
If you want better health research, involve consumers

Aboriginal Health and Wellbeing
The Aboriginal community in Australia is disadvantaged. With lower life expectancy, higher child mortality, and less access to early childhood education, academic achievement and employment outcomes, we are closing the gap on health and wellbeing. Efforts to close the gap across the country have been stalled, which is why we…
Art
Art expresses what words can’t explain. It brings a new dimension to our understanding of something, bridging the gap between two worlds.
