ANAPHI members have the opportunity to collectively plan, develop and implement innovative projects to enhance national public health capacity through the Innovations Program.

This program provides funding from the Public Health Education and Research Program of the Department of Health and Ageing for institutions to collaborate across a range of projects in areas such as quality enhancement, workforce development, information technology evaluation and teaching and research.

We have included all past projects.
Documentation for funding can be also be accessed.

Imperatives
There are a number of imperatives that may be derived from the Innovations principles. These include:
• encouraging wider collaboration within consortia - including greater collaboration with organisation from outside PHERP-funded institutions - through linking all levels of government (including Public Health authorities), local government and non-government sectors;
• ensuring sustainability and transferability of project outcomes;
• a need for greater levels of multi-disciplinary involvement in projects;
• pursuing a strategic approach to fostering capacity-building in areas where forecasts indicate future needs;
• identifying where expertise within particular institutions can be best-placed to take a lead role in certain projects and a collaborative or secondary role in other projects;
• retaining a focus on competition among collaborative proposals while recognising the need to reduce transaction costs and duplication of effort among consortia; and
• greater levels of financial contributions from across consortia in addition to that provided by the Commonwealth
