Welcome to The Sax Institute
The Sax Institute is a unique organisation in Australia. We build partnerships between researchers and health policy and service delivery agencies for better health.
Through these partnerships, we develop research assets and programs and strengthen policy and practice focused research.
The Institute has at its foundation a coalition of University and research groups undertaking population health and health services research in NSW.

- Inaugural NSW Child Health Network Conference: Tues. 2 Sep 08 - Thurs. 4 Sep 08
The CHNs were formed in 2001 to help standardise acute care for children and to improve access to quality paediatric services close to where families live. As part of this process, each of the 3 Networks have held biennial network-wide workshops to facilitate planning and to enhance networking between child health service providers across NSW. These have been important events where Network partners have been able to form and strengthen collaborative relationships in paediatrics and child health, as well as planning ways to maximise the benefit of the biennial allocation of network enhancement funds by NSW Health. - PUBLIC LECTURE Reforming New Zealand's Primary Health Care System
