About AHRA

The Australian Health Research Alliance (AHRA) is the voice of 12 National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) accredited Research Translation Centres and 2 Emerging Research Translation Centres across Australia.

Each centre is a partnership of multiple health services, research centres and universities. Collectively, AHRA’s members encompass more than 90% of researchers and 86% of acute health care services across Australia.

Together AHRA seeks to accelerate the pace and scale of research translation into health care and community health.

AHRA’s scale and reach creates a significant opportunity for coordinated national action in response to national and state health priorities. AHRA is uniquely positioned to address unmet needs in health care by helping researchers work with health care providers and consumers to deliver evidence-based care that offers better outcomes, best value and better health equity.

AHRA Health Research Hub

Consumer and community involvement in health and medical research and healthcare improvement has just been made easier with the launch of the Australian Health Research Alliance’s Health Research Hub.

The Hub is funded by the Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) and was generated through evidence synthesis and research, and coproduced with consumers at every stage. It offers access to practical, high-quality resources and tools for researchers, consumers, community members and healthcare professionals.
