More than an Annual Report, the publication presents a snapshot of the year’s key activities, community engagement programs, and the outstanding role and contribution of our Board, patrons, ambassadors, donors and supporters in assisting us in our mission to achieve better health for vulnerable communities.
We highlight the strategic objectives of cross-Institute health themes and the various initiatives undertaken by each Centre and in international country programs. Chair, Ms Mary Padbury and the Institute’s Director and CEO, Professor Brendan Crabb AC outline the year’s achievements in their reports.
Since 2007, a separate Financial Annual Report has been produced.
