To make a real impact, we need research to guide us.

For over thirty years, we’ve funded innovative research to help shape a healthier Victoria.

For over thirty years, we’ve funded innovative research to help shape a healthier Victoria. Through our research partners, we gain critical knowledge into what leads to preventable disease and the changes we need to make to promote better health. Even when the picture is constantly changing, our research tells us how to respond. 

VicHealth works with research partners to commission and conduct research ethically and with integrity in accordance with the National Health and Medical Research Council Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research. VicHealth’s Research Principles set out our standards and approach to research that is:

  • Empowering: Community-driven research, community-led translations and solutions. Stronger representation of diverse communities including those experiencing structural discrimination.
  • Bold and innovative: Delve into new areas, new coalitions and partnerships, creative and leading edge research methods and methodologies
  • Dynamic: Timely research outputs to leverage changing opportunities. Flexible approaches that can be adapted
  • Local to global: Local learnings and experiences are correlated with regional, state, national and global systems
  • Accountable: Research and impact measurement that is attuned, visible, ethical and high quality.

Once we have the numbers and facts, we can apply it to our work and share it with the world to boost our impact in health promotion.
