The health effects of climate change are diverse and pose a major threat to the health and well-being of Australians. Research at the School is focussed on responding to the urgent need to provide government and industry with a clear, robust evidence base to make informed policy decisions that will mitigate the physical and mental health impacts of climate change. Our researchers hold specific expertise in mental health, diet and food security, environmental sustainability, sociology, priority populations, infectious diseases and vaccine uptake, and local, regional and global health systems and programs.
