About Sydney Health Partners
Sydney Health Partners is a National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) accredited Research Translation Centre. We are a collaboration between:
- Five major health services
- The University of Sydney
- Ten affiliated medical research institutes
Together, our partners deliver care to over three million people and conduct world-class clinical and academic research.
Why We Exist
Australia’s health system faces growing pressure from chronic conditions, an ageing population, and rising healthcare costs. Too often, research discoveries are trapped in journals rather than working to improve patient care.
Sydney Health Partners exists to bridge the gap between research and practice. We aim to get evidence into clinicians’ hands and innovation into health services more quickly, more often, and more consistently.
What We Do
As one of 12 NHMRC-accredited centres within the Australian Health Research Alliance (AHRA), we aim to:
- Translate research into real-world healthcare improvements
- Align research with health system priorities
- Support clinicians and researchers to work together
- Involve consumers in shaping and conducting research
- Build system-wide capability in research translation and implementation
- Address common barriers to translation, such as governance, data access, and clinical trial bottlenecks
Sydney Health Partners also collaborates nationally within AHRA to respond to Australian Government priorities, and the needs of our health services and researcher communities.
Mission
Our mission is to advance the adoption of research-driven innovations in healthcare, foster a culture of collaboration between clinicians and researchers, scale these efforts across a complex health system, and strengthen our global competitiveness in translational research.
Vision
Our vision is to transform how research improves patient care and public health in our health system through strong collaboration, inclusive thinking, and an overriding commitment to meeting our community’s health needs.
From Research to Impact
For over a decade, Sydney Health Partners has accelerated research discovery translation into everyday clinical care. By working with researchers, clinicians, and consumers, we aim to ensure health innovations are practical, relevant, and primed to make a measurable difference.
