Strategic plan for health research
Research across the ACT’s health ecosystem is guided by Better together: A strategic plan for research in the ACT health system.
This plan was developed collaboratively by key partners across the ecosystem under the supervision of the ACT Health System Council.
It supports strategic prioritisation and integration of efforts to build and nurture research in the ACT’s health system.
