Our research and practice
Our researchers are improving the public health and futures of communities through global health research, education and inclusive development practice.
We strengthen global health systems, equity, and outcomes through research, education, and collaboration. Our research and practice focuses on six key areas of global health: Equity and Inclusion; Health systems strengthening; One Health; Prevention and Management of health conditions; Risk, resilience and climate; and Women’s health.
The Nossal Institute is home to a highly experienced, multidisciplinary team of applied researchers. We apply our diverse methodological and disciplinary expertise in epidemiology, biostatistics, health economics, social psychology, anthropology, and health sociology.
We support the strengthening of health systems towards achieving health equity, inclusion, sustainability, people-centredness, resilience and security. We engage and work with government, business and communities to understand what they need to meet their goals and objectives, and then we produce research that they can use to do this.

We work with partners across the following research and practice areas:
-
Equity and Inclusion
We generate evidence and provide technical expertise to ensure those most marginalised equitably participate in, and benefit from, global health and development processes.
-
Health systems strengthening
We support countries in strengthening the foundations of health systems – their governance, financing, workforce, information systems, service delivery, and access to essential medicines and technologies.
-
One Health
We support countries, local and regional organisations, and international agencies to reduce health risks at the human-animal-environment interface and strengthen development outcomes.

-
Prevention and management of Health Conditions
Our work generates evidence about effective, accessible and inclusive approaches to preventing and managing a range of conditions that undermine health globally.
-
Risk, resilience and climate
We work with partners to understand, reduce and prevent disaster and climate risk, including in complex environments and with displaced populations.
-
Women's Health
We are working with partners to generate evidence, co-design solutions, and to advocate for women’s health globally.
