## Optimising health and wellness at work and beyond

The Macquarie University Health at Work Research Centre investigates the complex interplay of factors that advance health and wellness, develops effective interventions and translates knowledge into policy and practice.

Our interdisciplinary research unit uses multi-method collaborative research to improve health and social outcomes aimed at optimising the health of people in organisations and the design and management of health and social care.

### Our strategic priorities

- Create world-changing impact and engagement by partnering with industry, non-government organisations, and end-users and by influencing practice and policy through expert contribution.
- Strengthen research excellence by conducting high‐quality research with leading national and international research partners.
- Build on existing research strengths and enhance cross-disciplinary capability through funded projects and by building the research capacity of research leaders, early career researchers and postgraduate students.
- Build a reputation for world-leading engaged and applied research excellence that optimises the health and wellbeing of people within organisations and the design and management of health and social care services.
