We are committed to addressing the impacts of both natural and built environments on health, designing for optimum outcomes, ensuring communities are best placed to mitigate the risks of environmental change.

Our strategic initiatives reflect the future we want to create. Within each initiative, we have a range of projects seeking partnership, investment and support – these could be your opportunity to make a significant impact for the next generations.

Projects seeking partnership

Neurotoxin Monitoring Initiative: Safeguarding Rural Health

With the aim of understanding whether increased exposure to environmental toxins increases the risk of Motor Neurone Disease in rural communities, this initiative seeks to expand neurotoxin monitoring in inland waters, with a focus on rural communities like Griffith, NSW. Utilising a novel bioindicator model developed by UTS researchers, the project will assess the presence of blue-green algal toxins, heavy metals, and pesticides, and identify how we can mitigate the risks to both communities and the environment posed by these neurotoxins.

Prevent the Next Global Pandemic: Precision Virus Detection

This research project aims to develop an innovative rapid antigen test capable of distinguishing viruses at the variant level. If successful, this new antigen test will significantly enhance pandemic preparedness and response, enabling faster, more accurate public health interventions, supporting next generation of infectious disease control.

Philanthropy and partnerships are critical to our mission. The community we build around us is as important as the work itself, and we hope you’ll be part of it. Contact the team to find out more:
