Burnet 2030 Strategy
Our strategy for greater impact in a rapidly changing world.
At Burnet, we are helping to create the future of health.
The Burnet 2030 Strategy focuses on growing our impact, placing equity at the centre of what we do, and paying close attention to the effects of a rapidly changing climate and environment.
Our point of difference is our technical breadth–from laboratory-based discoveries to field research, to commercialisation to development programs; all to progress toward a more equitable world.
This is what sets us apart.
The future of health is...
- Diseases eliminated.
- Healthy women, children and adolescents.
- A more prepared world.
- Harm reduction.
- For all people.
