About the faculty

Making and shaping the future of health
Through a multidisciplinary education and research environment, we are committed to continually optimising our programs – ensuring that our disciplines are best positioned to address the challenges of 21st century healthcare.

The Faculty of Medicine and Health brings together the areas of dentistry, health sciences, medical sciences, medicine, nursing and midwifery, pharmacy and public health to facilitate a multidisciplinary approach to solving modern day healthcare problems.

By integrating the best minds and resources from our schools, clinical schools, disciplines and research bodies, the newly formed Faculty of Medicine and Health is designed to harness collaboration and translate research into education and clinical practice.
