Australian Health Policy Institute

The Australian Health Policy Institute was established by the College of Health Sciences at the University of Sydney in 1999. Its purpose is to provide a high-level capability for authoritative, independent, non-partisan analysis of major health policy questions which confront Australian and international health systems. The Institute has four themes: Futures; Equity; Serious and Continuing Illnesses; and Governance.

Institute staff collaborate extensively with government and non-government organisations, locally and internationally, on a range of research projects. Health policy seminars are conducted by the Institute to promote academic, professional and public debate on policy issues.

The Institute provides an educational capacity in health policy, policy analysis and policy research in the School of Public Health’s teaching programs, and in particular its postgraduate program in health policy.

The Australian Health Policy Institute incorporates The Diabetes Unit which has an explicit focus on policy, planning and health system reform activities across the continuum of primary, secondary and tertiary prevention in relation to diabetes and associated chronic diseases
