We have a highly engaged, diverse and collaborative workforce that is unified by our goal to help people live healthy and fulfilled lives.

Austin Health’s strategic vision is to be a national leader in research and teaching by developing research and learning across the Austin Health precinct with our University and Research partners.

D&I is recognised as the hub for research and development at Austin Health. Our mission is to encourage, support and guide the development, promotion and application of Austin Health precinct translational research and intellectual property. This enables us to collaborate with researchers to design and implement novel and quality treatment for our community. We are guided by the accreditation Standards set in the National Clinical Trials Governance Framework, the National Statement and the Australian Code of Conduct.

The Training & Development Lead is responsible for designing, implementing, and evaluating learning and development programs that enhance the skills and capabilities of Austin Health Human Research Ethics Committee Members.
