NCRIS Health Group
Improving Australia’s Health and Reducing Disease Burden
The NCRIS Health Group tackles complex, multidisciplinary medical challenges that cannot be solved by a single organisation or area of research alone.
They connect and coordinate access to experts and infrastructure so researchers, clinicians and industry can collaborate at a national scale, solve problems faster, and translate their discoveries into real-world health benefits.
Combining experts, data and tools have enabled groundbreaking work such as:
- modelling to understand how diseases develop
- developing tools for diagnosis, monitoring and treatment
- analysing population health data to understand influences on community health
- testing personalised, precision medicines
- accelerating the discovery of new drug targets
- testing and manufacturing medical devices and products
- supporting innovative clinical trials
- running advanced analytics on data within secure environments for new insights into disease.
Critical Health Challenges
Health Group providers are tackling critical challenges such as:
NCRIS means access to world-leading expertise, tools and services.
Australia’s National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) gives researchers and industry access to critical equipment, data, services and expertise to enable world-leading research and development for the benefit of all Australians.
The NCRIS Health Group accelerates Australian health research and industry innovation, reducing the time and costs of getting new ideas to patients.
The 10 specialised NCRIS providers work together to give clinicians and researchers a seamless pipeline for translating their ideas into solutions for diagnosis, treatment, protocols and devices.
Without the NCRIS Health Group, Australia would see slower medical advances, less effective and slower disease responses, increasing health inequity and growing healthcare costs.
This helps underpin the quality, safety and future readiness of Australia’s health system.
