Introducing the Medibank Better Health Research Hub
The Medibank Better Health Foundation has changed its name, but not its mission.
To better reflect what it stands for and the central role it plays, the newly-named Medibank Better Health Research Hub will continue to champion health research to support our 2030 vision to create the best health and wellbeing for Australia.
The Medibank Better Health Research Hub prioritises research in areas that address the quintuple aims of healthcare: improving health outcomes, affordability, patient experience, health equity, and the wellbeing of healthcare workers.
With a focus on collaboration and research translation, we partner with researchers, health services and organisations across the health sector. We have committed around $11 million of funding for projects since 2013 for the benefit of our customers and the community.
Our research pillars seek to address health and health system need, and to support Medibank’s 2030 vision to create the best health and wellbeing for Australia.
Our research pillars for 2024-25 and 2025-26 financial years are:
- Community mental health and wellbeing
- Prevention strategies in primary care
- Care models for the future
We believe in collaboration to innovate
We welcome opportunities to partner with researchers on projects that align to our research pillars and principles.
