The Deakin Institute for Health Transformation works to deliver significant impact in health and wellbeing through groundbreaking collaborative research and transformative partnerships.
We strive to activate healthy populations and communities, innovate health service delivery and design, empower consumers as advocates for health system change, and drive equity and value in health care. Our work and researchers are recognised among the world’s best for research excellence and innovation.
Working locally and collaborating globally
At the Deakin Institute for Health Transformation, our impact is shaped by strong local partnerships and a global research network. Together with researchers across six continents, we’ve collaborated on 4,873 scholarly outputs worldwide. This global reach strengthens our capacity to solve real‑world health challenges here in Australia, while our local insights help inform and influence international practice. By connecting communities, researchers and policymakers across borders, we’re transforming health systems to create healthier lives for all.
