Conceptual representation of the Centre for Adolescent Health

Based at the Children’s campus in Melbourne and established by the Royal Children’s Hospital in 1991, the Centre for Adolescent Health is a vibrant and dynamic academic centre that builds on many local and international partnerships and collaborations to generate knowledge, build capacity and advocate to advance the health and wellbeing of all adolescents, locally and globally. Our four major domains of interest are developmental science, global adolescent health, adolescent responsive systems, and education & learning, informed by a youth reference group. Our staff are largely employed by the Campus partners; the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute, The University of Melbourne and the Royal Children’s Hospital. Beyond our core campus partners, we have major links with various other Australian institutions including Deakin University, Burnet Institute, Telethon Kids Institute, and Curtin University. We also collaborate with many different academic institutions and agencies across the world, including the United Nations. This includes the World Health Organization which acknowledges our expertise through designation as a World Health Organization Collaborating Centre for Adolescent Health.
