The Australian Institute of Health Innovation (AIHI) is proud to celebrate the recent academic promotions of health systems researchers at Macquarie University.

Professor Jeffrey Braithwaite, Founding Director of AIHI, said these promotions highlight the exceptional quality of research within the Institute and the global impact of its work.

“Our researchers are driving evidence-based improvements in healthcare systems, both nationally and internationally,” Professor Braithwaite said.

“Their achievements reflect a deep commitment to advancing knowledge and shaping better health outcomes. We also acknowledge the invaluable contributions of senior, mid-career and early-career researchers, alongside our professional staff and students, whose dedication underpins our success,” he said.

AIHI extends its congratulations to all promoted staff across Macquarie University, recognising their outstanding contributions to research, education and service.
