Centre for Health Policy
Melbourne School of Population and Global Health

Welcome to the Centre for Health Policy
Since its establishment in 2013, the Centre for Health Policy (CHP) has pursued excellence in research and research training, learning and teaching, and knowledge exchange.
The Centre strives to identify, critique, co-design, implement and evaluate policy options that protect the health of populations; to formulate, with partners, strategies that improve access, organisation, and delivery of health services or programs, particularly as they affect the most vulnerable; and to identify strategies for enhancing the safety, effectiveness and efficiency of health care systems in addressing the most pressing health and care challenges.
