Facts & figures
Founded in 1930, Sydney School of Public Health is Australia’s first and leading school of public health. Each day, our researchers and graduates are tackling global health challenges and striving to improve equity in communities locally and around the world.
Our vision is for a global community in which everyone’s needs for good health and wellbeing are met. We actualise this vision by providing a wide range of education and research opportunities for students and academics.
Our academics maximise the school's research impact by working alongside institutions such as the World Health Organization, the Gates Foundation and Australian governments at local, state and federal levels to bring the benefits of public health policy and practice to the people who need it most.
