The HEAL (Healthy Environments And Lives) Network is funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council Special Initiative in Human Health and Environmental Change. HEAL is a catalyst for research, knowledge exchange, and translation into policy and practice to bring measurable improvements to our health, the Australian health system, and the environment.
The HEAL National Research Network is a broad coalition of 100 investigators and more than 30 organisations from across Australia that aims to bridge the gap between knowledge and action by bringing together Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander wisdom, sustainable development, epidemiology, and data science and communication to address environmental and climate change and its impacts on health across all Australian states and territories.
