The Centre works to improve health care for people with intellectual disability through:
National leadership and advocacy
We bring together people and organisations who want better health care for people with intellectual disability. We advocate for change and give policy advice.
Why this matters
This work helps to create a stronger, more coordinated national approach to improving health care for people with intellectual disability.
Better research and data
We work to make intellectual disability health research and data stronger. We build the evidence for better health care.
Why this matters
Better research and data leads to better resources, policies, services, systems.
Improved health services
We work to improve health services by building the capacity of the health workforce, developing and promoting models of care, and sharing information.
Why this matters
A confident and skilled workforce and effective models of care improve health care experiences and health outcomes.
Resources and information
We are a national hub of expert advice on intellectual disability health for people with intellectual disability, families, carers, and health and disability professionals.
Why this matters
Accessible information helps everyone understand, use and deliver better health care.
