About us

The Mitchell Institute's mission is to strengthen the relationship between evidence and policy, and, to improve equity of opportunity and success in both health and education. The Australian Health Policy Collaboration (AHPC) is a health policy think within the Mitchell Institute. We have built a collaborative approach with Australian health experts, academics, researchers and policymakers to translate the best evidence into effective policy development and implementation centred on the current and future impacts of chronic diseases in Australia.
