ABOUT US

The Menzies Centre for Health Governance at the ANU School of Regulation and Global Governance (RegNet) focuses on governing for health equity.

The aim of our work is to provide interdisciplinary evidence that, through proactive engagement with key change makers across society, can help contribute to a fairer, more sustainable and healthier society within Australia, across the Asia Pacific region and globally.
