Health Economics Connect showcases policy-relevant research from Australia’s health economics community.

Health economics plays an important role in building an efficient and equitable health system. It helps inform decisions about funding, healthcare services, medicines, patient care and clinical innovation, while also improving our understanding of how economic and social factors influence health behaviours.

Working with clinicians, policymakers and other health system partners, health economists develop evidence to support better decisions about how limited resources are used and how health outcomes can be improved.
