Vision

To attain the best health and wellbeing possible for women and their babies through excellence and leadership in research, education and knowledge transfer.

Mission

The Australian Research Centre for Health of Women and Babies (ARCH) is an international centre of excellence for maternal and perinatal research, which benefits women and babies by:-

  • answering questions of major importance in the field of maternal and perinatal health, across the spectrum from preconception, through pregnancy and childbirth, infancy and later life.
  • generating research evidence of the highest quality that promotes the best health possible for all women and their babies.
  • ensuring that research findings are incorporated into health care practice.
  • increasing capacity in research synthesis, randomised trials and implementation and translational research through career development and education, locally, nationally and internationally.
  • strengthening our existing collaborations and identifying new international, national and regional collaborations.

Research Programs

Our six major multidisciplinary research themes for 2008 - 2012 that will benefit women and babies for the next five years are:

  • Care before, during and after pregnancy and childbirth

  • Health care and lifestyle interventions during pregnancy and their implications for later health

  • Child health after pregnancy and childbirth intervention studies

  • Indigenous maternal and perinatal health
