2. To establish new, and foster existing, partnerships by bringing together researchers and scientists from different specialties: occupational and respiratory medicine; occupational psychiatry and psychology; epidemiology and biostatistics; sociology; policy analysis and health economics with patient, public, and employer representation
3. To develop and undertake novel research examining the relationship between health, disease, and work
4. To nurture and develop new (clinical and non-clinical) researchers in the field of work and health
5. To deliver high impact research outputs that inform government policy, clinical practice, and human resource practices to improve the health outcomes of the working-age population
