Research to improve health for all

At the National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health (NCEPH) we seek to improve the health and wellbeing of all populations, in Australia, regionally and throughout the world, to reduce inequalities and ensure people and communities can thrive. We are a vibrant, future-focused centre that serves society through transformational research and tackles the big problems of today and tomorrow.

Our interdisciplinary expertise and collaborative ways of working build the best evidence to solve complex problems that harm people and communities. Through our research we drive, promote and enable more equitable outcomes, through influencing and informing policy and advocating for change.

We work together through our diverse Centres and Departments to understand population health and drive positive change.
