Our commitment to Planetary Health

In all that we do in our research, our teaching, on our campuses and in our communities, we work to improve the health and wellbeing of our local and global communities, and the planet that we share.

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.

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.
