Our Vision
To facilitate working-age people to have and maintain healthy, fulfilling work through a multidisciplinary research centre focusing on work and health, and to support employers to create healthy workplaces and work conditions which support sustainable work participation. We will increase capacity in work and health research by fostering academic collaboration and encouraging and nurturing researchers in this field.
Our Function
to nurture existing and develop new multidisciplinary (clinical and non-clinical) researchers in the field of work and health
to become an effective international hub of research excellence and applied expertise in the relationships between work and health
to act as a collaborative centre that enables cross-institutional and cross-sector engagement, intentionally drawing people from different institutions, to establish new, and foster existing, partnerships
to lead and support the delivery of high impact research outputs that inform government policy, advance clinical and business practices, and contribute to improving the health, sustainable employment, productivity and economic participation of the working-age population.
