The ACMD brings together world-leading scientists, researchers and educators in medicine, biomedical engineering and technology to transform Australia’s health system.
To keep us at the forefront of health innovation today and into the future, we are preparing the next generation of interdisciplinary leaders in health.
But we cannot do it alone.
As Australia’s healthcare challenges continue to grow, collaboration and innovation have never been more important. Established by St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne and six leading research and education partners, the ACMD is designed to fast-track the development of new technologies, treatments and healthcare solutions.
Together, we are helping address some of healthcare’s most pressing challenges, including:
- Rising rates of chronic disease
- Growing demand for healthcare services
- Inequitable access to care across communities
- The need for faster translation of research into patient outcomes
By bringing expertise, technology and discovery together under one roof, the ACMD is helping shape the future of healthcar
Together, we can create a fairer and more equitable health system for all and change people’s lives through healthcare innovation.
“The ACMD is a world first and the most significant development in biomedical research in Australia in 20 years. When you partner with the ACMD, you will help improve the lives of millions of people through the use of health technology to achieve more equitable access to innovations.”
