Our research

Quality use of medicines, medicines safety and pharmacovigilance

Working with consumers, practitioners, health organisations and national agencies, we develop and test evidence-based solutions to reduce harm from medicines.

Optimising medicine use

Our research centre has more than 20 years of experience in identifying problems with medicines use and promoting behaviour change to optimise medicine use.

Digital health, data and medicines

Digital technologies are profoundly changing the healthcare landscape. This applied research area uses and develops digital health methods to advance medicine safety and improve use of medicines.

Pharmacy practice

Pharmacists play an important role in ensuring medicine safety and appropriate use of medicines. Our research investigates the effectiveness of new pharmacy practices in improving patient outcomes.

Aboriginal traditional medicines

This research area, working with Aboriginal communities, is focused on the ethical and culturally appropriate study of Aboriginal medicines, the identification of pharmacologically active compounds and the measurement of their effect.

Evidence translation and policy

This area of research is specialised in promoting large-scale transformation of research into practice and promoting medicine policies and guidelines that are both globally relevant and locally appropriate.
