The National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) is Australia’s expert body for health and medical research.

It is the agency the Australian Government uses to fund health and medical research. 

The NHMRC seeks to translate medical research into better health outcomes.

It also promotes the required ethical standards for health and medical research.

The NHMRC funds research through a grant system, which includes a transparent peer review process to determine who receives funding. The idea is to fund the best health and medical research through impartial and expert advice.
