About the Centre for the Business and Economics of Health
As the first Australian centre dedicated to applying business and economic insights to healthcare, the Centre for the Business and Economics of Health (CBEH) is uniquely positioned to apply its academic knowledge and expertise to identify, evaluate, and encourage opportunities for health improvements in Australia and internationally. The Centre aims to contribute to a health system that is forward-looking and equipped to deal with tomorrow’s needs for care, rather than modelled reactively on yesterday’s use of service.
CBEH leverages ideas, expertise, and resources from across academia, government, and industry to help improve healthcare service delivery and population health outcomes. Our researchers acquire and analyse comprehensive data to inform solutions to industry and societal challenges in healthcare. We focus on local issues that serve Queenslanders’ aspirations for making healthy happen yet remain committed to building national relationships and global profile to achieve broader impact.
CBEH is committed to translating our research into policy and practice and achieving an impact on economic and social outcomes as well as health. The Centre is a thought leader in the Asia-Pacific region, as evidenced by the citation of our findings across countries and institutions. Staff, students, alumni, and partners of CBEH benefit from our strong global reputation in research, impact, and engagement.
