We offer collaborations for research and study
We welcome research scientists, clinicians, consumers and industry partners to collaborate with us to develop innovative solutions supporting health system efficiency, effectiveness and sustainability.
The Australian Institute of Health Innovation (AIHI) partners with leading researchers and changemakers, and we welcome the vital input of health consumers in our co-design research.
Our local, national and international collaborations include:
- clinicians
- governments and agencies
- health system managers
- industry
- national and international research communities
- patients and the community
- policymakers
- providers of health services.
We are linked with most major health academic researchers or groups via shared grants and publications. Our international partners include leading research organisations in Europe, the UK and the US. Learn more about them in our annual report (pages 14–15).
Ways to collaborate
We highly value all our collaborative relationships across a range of sectors.
Research services
AIHI works with many stakeholders in the healthcare system to deliver translational research. We provide research services to government, not-for-profit, and commercial sectors. We offer:
- formal long-term collaborations on research and development projects, often supported by competitive government grants
- contract research which delivers faster turnaround research that is directly relevant to your company, for example improved targeting of your services and products
- commercialisation of our research and technologies into products, services, and joint-venture spin-off companies.
AIHI offers capacity building and knowledge transfer to assist organisations to grow and develop in the fast-changing world of healthcare. AIHI can provide opportunities for:
- formal research education
- tailored short courses
- visiting academic programs.
Become a postgraduate researcher with us and make a difference to the Australian health system.
Scholarships

Undergraduate projects
Study projects are available under the PACE program.
Postgraduate programs
Our postgraduate programs allow candidates to undertake advanced research leading to a Masters or PhD degree under the supervision of experienced and highly attentive senior research staff.
Graduate Research candidates at AIHI represent the future leaders in healthcare, embodying innovative ideas and a dedicated approach. Some of our recent candidates share their perspectives in our annual report (pages 26–27).
Every voice matters in healthcare research.
At the Australian Institute of Health Innovation, we believe the best research starts with listening. Discover how we’re partnering with communities to co-design research that reflects real-world healthcare experiences.
