Building health connections through research and collaboration
Partnering to improve health outcomes in Western and Far West NSW
We believe that better health outcomes start with building strong health connections and partnerships with local service providers. Our collaborations with research institutions, health organisations and community stakeholders are designed to generate practical insights, shape future services and strengthen health access and equity across the region.
Whether you’re a university, a research group or a healthcare provider, we will work with you to solve real-world health challenges and drive innovation in primary care.
We are a member of the Western Health Research Network (WHRN), an alliance of Universities, Local Health Districts, Primary Health Care Providers, Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations, and Non-government Organisations.
