4 pillars of planetary health

Research with impact

We are committed to life-changing, world-changing research. Our researchers develop solutions to the complex challenges facing our world. We work with communities, industry, and governments to benefit the health of country, cities and regions, communities and the environment.

Learning that changes lives

We are committed to being a university without borders. We provide quality education that is open to any student from any background, supported by the Block Model, designed with students, for students. We produce future-ready graduates, citizens and leaders.

Working with our community

We are the University of the west of Melbourne. We are committed to working with our communities to find local solutions to challenging planetary-health problems. We are thinking globally and acting locally – and sharing what we learn with communities around the world.
