AIHI at Macquarie University is the home of the third NHMRC Partnership Centre for Health System Sustainability. A collaborative of 17 lead investigators, 20 expert advisors and over 40 system implementation partners from around the country are joining forces to tackle interventions that will significantly improve the sustainability of Australia’s health system.

At the NHMRC Partnership Centre for Health System Sustainability we are committed to disseminating ideas and evidence to improve the performance of the health system so that it delivers care efficiently and effectively over the long-term.
