About the organisation

Organisation Name : Burnet Institute

Burnet Institute is a leading Australian, unaligned, not-for-profit organisation focused on achieving better health for vulnerable communities in Australia and internationally by accelerating the translation of research, discovery and evidence into sustainable health solutions.

Since 1986, Burnet has linked discovery-oriented, medical research with practical action to help solve devastating global health problems that affect the most vulnerable. This sets us apart from other organisations. Institute-wide interdisciplinary health programs - Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health; Disease Elimination; Behaviours and Health Risks, and Health Security - are at the heart of our daily decision-making. The Institute's highly diverse skill base of laboratory and field research, and technical expertise, is fostered across cross cutting disciplines of Life Sciences, Public Health and International Development.

Whilst our headquarters is in Melbourne, Australia, we also have offices in Papua New Guinea and Myanmar, and are actively involved in research and public health programs throughout Australia, the Asia-Pacific region, and Africa. Burnet is the only unaligned organisation in Australia that has dual accreditation with both the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT).
