OUR VALUES

We are a team 

We work together, recognising that our successes are a collaborative achievement. We celebrate the contributions of all, including those who provide the platforms to make great research happen.

We are engaged

We are committed to working with the public, patients and policy makers to ensure our science is relevant and impactful. Engagement enriches our research, inspires others and builds trust.

We are inclusive

We respect each other’s differences and take deliberate action to remove barriers to equity. Our science is better if we are diverse; our workplace is better when we are inclusive.

We are open

We share our methods, tools, data and expertise to accelerate innovation and improve health outcomes. Being open accelerates progress and ensures that our research has wide impact.

Good Citizen Awards

In general, we expect our members to contribute where they can in a variety of ways to help the Centre function and serve its members better. Some individuals, however, go above and beyond the requirements of their role to enhance the life of the Centre. With our Good Citizen Awards we want to recognise and celebrate these exceptional contributions. 

We have awarded Good Citizen Awards in 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2023, recognising efforts in the broad areas of open science, education and training, research culture, EDI, public engagement, promoting collaboration, and the special category 'lockdown hero' during times of Covid-19 restrictions. The award winners’ achievements are a testament to the power of kindness and empathy, and their belief in creating a better workplace environment.
