Connecting evidence, data and people to act for a healthier Australia
About the sax institute
The Sax Institute is an independent, not-for-profit organisation that connects evidence with decision-making. We help governments and organisations understand what works and act to improve the health and wellbeing of every generation.
Our work
Every day, governments, service providers and communities make decisions that shape people’s health and wellbeing. The Sax Institute exists to help those decisions be informed by the best available evidence.
We bring together the broadest range of tools, methods, data, and trusted partnerships across governments, communities, services and academia.
By connecting evidence, data and decision-makers, we generate independent intelligence that supports better decisions and creates real-world impact for a healthier future for every generation.
