The Centre for Health Communication engages in research with frontline staff on their communication processes. The centre employs a wide range of research methods. The main focus of the Centre’s work is on whether and how communication among clinicians and with patients and carers addresses organisational and policy dimensions of care. Researchers at the Centre and their collaborators have received more than $12 million in funding from the Australian Research Council, the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care, NSW Health and a range of other funding bodies.
