April 11, 2013
Minister for Health Tanya

$7.9 million in grants for 11
‘Partnerships for Better Health’
projects, including research into
medication regimes for kidney
transplants, chlamydia testing,
work-related asthma and cancer,
suicide prevention, and mental

The grants will encourage
alliances between partners who
deliver health care services, those
who make decisions about health
practice, and researchers who can
offer evidence-based solutions.
Partners include Commonwealth
and State agencies, hospitals,
medical research institutes and
patient advocacy groups.
Funding recipients included a
child health and development
study; an extended workplace
exposures study into work-related
asthma and cancer; a women’s
wellness after cancer program;
a study into improving access to
psychological services for people
with cancer; mental health
studies on people with intellectual
disabilities and research into
intervention for mental health
disorders in rural children.
Monash University and partners
received grants for a controlled trial
to prevent secondary falls in older
people, and improving medicine
adherence in kidney transplants.
