The NHMRC Healthy Environments And Lives (HEAL) Network is a collaboration of over 30 organisations from across Australia aiming to catalyse research, knowledge exchange and translation into policy and practice that will bring measurable improvements to our health, the Australian health system, and the environment. HEALs programme of research and translation aims to: (A) protect and improve public health, especially the health of at-risk groups in regions and communities disproportionately affected by environmental and climate change; (B) strengthen health system resilience, preparedness and responsiveness to changing environmental conditions and related diseases, and reduce the health systems environmental impact; and (C) reduce inequities and inequalities within and across communities and generations.
