We provide the next generation of lab-based researchers and public health + international development experts with opportunities to extend their skills and deepen their experience through our Honours, Masters and PhD programs. Students train with internationally recognised experts and gain valuable feedback in student-focussed seminars and symposia. Along the way, they also have exposure to our uniquely integrated workplace, and nurturing culture. Learn more about studying at Burnet.

We’re serious about delivering better health for all, and at pace. That’s why we work in integrated teams, maximising the connections between fieldworkers and lab researchers to make practical progress on three core ambitions: eliminating the threat of disease; preparing health systems and populations for future pandemics; and ensuring women, children, and young people have access to the health support they need.

We’re committed to supporting local teams in some of the world’s poorest, most remote and most challenging locations to protect the fundamental human right to good health in their communities. Our approach is always collaborative, sustainable and locally led, and we’re proud of our status as the only Australian medical research institute to hold international non-government organisation (NGO) accreditation.
