Population Health Research Program
Turning big data into targeted action
The Program maps who is affected by allergies, where, and why, and is setting the first consumer-centred National Allergy Research Agenda. This will help the Australian Government and key stakeholders to direct allergy research and care where it’s needed most.
Key projects include:
- Publishing the latest allergy prevalence insights
- Updating the National Allergy Research Agenda with deeper consumer involvement
“After analysing National Health Survey data of 17,093 Australians, it is clear allergic diseases remain a substantial public health burden in Australia.”
- Epidemiology Lead of the National Allergy Centre of Excellence.
- Epidemiology Lead of Population Allergy and Principal Research Fellow, Murdoch Children's Research Institute.
- Associate Investigator of the Centre for Food Allergy Research.
- Honorary Principal Research Fellow, Department of Paediatrics, The University of Melbourne
