About us
Adolescence is a time of unique growth and opportunity. Good health and wellbeing in adolescence brings benefits across the life-course and into the next generation. The Centre for Adolescent Health generates knowledge and provides training for practitioners and policymakers about the best investments for healthy development during the adolescent years. The Centre for Adolescent Health is a world-leading technical and research group based in Melbourne, Australia. In our research we work with partners across Australia and with leading groups in both high and low income countries across the world. We are Australia’s leading provider of education and training on adolescent health and have trained professionals from across the globe. We work with policy makers across sectors, nationally and internationally, and are the World Health Organization’s only Collaborating Centre in adolescent health outside Western Europe. We are part of The Royal Children's Hospital campus in Melbourne, Australia. Our key partners for Research and Education are the Murdoch Children's Research Institute, and the University of Melbourne, Department of Paediatrics.
