About Us

The Menzies Centre for Health Governance at the ANU School of Regulation and Global Governance (RegNet) focuses on governing for health equity. We seek to understand the systems of institutions, interests and ideas that shape multisectoral public policy, market practices, and the actions of civil society, and the implications for human and planetary health. The aim of our work is to provide interdisciplinary evidence that, through proactive engagement with key change makers across society, can help contribute to a fairer, more sustainable and healthier society within Australia, across the Asia Pacific region and globally.

For the last 20 years, RegNet has focused on improving the governance of major social, environmental, economic, and health issues by developing new ways of understanding and responding to these complex problems. The School is known for its paradigm-shifting conceptualisations of regulation and governance as well as its collegial and interdisciplinary approach to knowledge production and dissemination.
