Western Health is committed to providing Best Care to our community. Underpinning Western Health’s world-class clinical care is our commitment to research and education.
A key initiative of Western Health’s Strategic Directions 2021-2023 is to “build stronger connections between and amongst researchers, educators, clinical leaders and frontline staff, through multidisciplinary projects, learning and innovation”. This is achieved by fostering curiosity and supporting staff to lead and participate in research.
