Our partners

Our initial funding was provided by our original Funding Partners: the NHMRC, the Australian Government Department of Health, NSW Ministry of Health, ACT Health and the HCF Research Foundation.

In 2017 the Australian Government, through the Department of Health, provided us with a further $10 million for 10 specific research projects under the Boosting Prevention program, which is funded from the Medical Research Future Fund.

In 2018, we were refunded for a further five years until 2023. Our current Funding Partners are NHMRC, Australian Government Department of Health, ACT Health, Cancer Council Australia, NSW Ministry of Health, Wellbeing SA, Tasmanian Department of Health, and VicHealth.

In 2022, Queensland Health joined the Prevention Centre as a financial contributor and valued partner.

The Prevention Centre is administered by the Sax Institute in Sydney.
