Welcome to the website of the Australian Primary Health Care Research
Institute (APHCRI)
APHCRI is an initiative of the Australian Government as part of the
Primary Health Care Research, Evaluation and Development (PHC RED) strategy
and is supported by a grant from the Australian Government Department
of Health and Ageing.
It sits within the PHC RED strategy sharing the common overall aim
of embedding a research culture in Australian general practice specifically,
and primary health care more generally.
The mission of APHCRI is to "Provide national leadership in
improving the quality and effectiveness of primary health care through
the conduct of high quality priority-driven research and the support
and promotion of best practice. It focuses on important sectoral questions
relating to the organisation, financing, delivery and performance of
primary health care, including its interaction with public health and
the secondary and tertiary health care sectors."
The three goals of APHCRI are to:
1. Strengthen the knowledge base of primary health care by conducting
and supporting research
2. Facilitate the uptake of research evidence in primary health care
policy and practice
3. Enhance research capacity in primary health care through strategic
partnerships with other relevant national and international groups.
