The challenges in human health are complex and global.
At Innovation Campus, we’re leading the healthcare transformation through robust, exceptional research that reaches into every corner of the sector. The Australian Health Services Research Institute (AHSRI) is on the frontline in this mission.
AHSRI is a major research facility at the beating heart of the University of Wollongong’s Health and Wellbeing Strategy. It’s where inquisitive minds come together, alight with a vision of driving genuine and lasting improvements in the management and provision of health and community services – both in Australia and beyond.
Each and every day, ASHRI is advancing equity in resource distribution and access to services, enhancing sector-wide continuity and enabling evidence-based management decision making.

ASHRI unites a comprehensive group of health partners, working individually and in tandem to deliver better approaches and unique health products. We work collaboratively with government agencies including NSW Health and a range of leading health and allied health organisations. We also work with inspiring health initiatives through partnering with iAccelerate residents, UOW’s PowerLab, Apple’s Health app for iOS and more.
ASHRI is made up of eight world-leading research centres:
AHSRI’s incubator for new health and community research themes and programs, attracting and managing strategic commissioned research projects that traverse multiple disciplines. A key outcome is the development of Dementia Training Australia to advance national excellence in dementia education.
A collaborative national palliative care project delivering evidence-based improvement in patient, family and carer outcomes.
The national rehabilitation medicine clinical registry of Australia and New Zealand, driving quality and outcome improvements in rehabilitation across the public and private sectors.
Working with industry and government to support the development and use of casemix classifications in health services research, evaluation, management and provision.
National benchmarking of care and treatment for individuals experiencing chronic pain throughout Australia and New Zealand, leading to improved services and outcomes.
A joint research partnership providing a sophisticated information platform to connect health and medical research data in the Illawarra for improved population health.
Harnessing applied statistics to uncover and communicate meaning in data, enabling better understanding and application within the health system context.
Providing information and advice on the measurement of health outcomes to inform the development of health outcomes research, practice and policy in Australia and overseas.
At the University of Wollongong, we’re driven to meet the toughest challenges in human health in our region and beyond, from the global antimicrobial resistance crisis to technologies and care modalities to enhance quality of life.
At Innovation Campus, improving health outcomes through research and development is a primary focus, from the inspiring and impactful work taking place in AHSRI to the Sustainable Buildings Research Centre’s research to improve human comfort, health and wellbeing through better building design.
Our campus will soon become home to the Health and Wellbeing Precinct – the heart of our Health and Wellbeing Strategy and a key driver in translating our research excellence into transformative outcomes in human health. The precinct will incorporate a unique clinician-led ‘one-stop diagnostic shop’ where health practitioners and researchers will work side-by-side to deliver innovative research and patient-centred care.
