We welcome Dr John Rivers, Professor Janet Hardy, Professor Jennifer Byrne, Professor John Prins, Professor Steven Lane, Professor Cathy Mihalopoulos and Professor Jill Francis to our newly established Research Advisory Board.

They generously lend their collective experience to provide strategic insight and guidance in relation to the institute’s research strategy, the responsible stewardship of donated funds and much more, ensuring that our organisation remains nationally and internationally competitive into the future.
As we continue to implement our 2024-2026 strategy, we are charting an exciting new direction that will underpin our growth over the next few years. Our focus on innovation, research engagement, and our people will ensure we are positioned for future impact and long-term sustainability
