The Murdoch Childrens Research Institute, based at The Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne, is the largest child health research organisation in Australia. It includes Victorian Clinical Genetics Services which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Institute. Our Vision is to be a major global contributor to the creation of knowledge. Our Mission is to obtain knowledge to improve the health of children in Victoria and globally.
The ultimate goal is for the Institute to become one of the top-five child health research institutes in the world through the conduct of globally competitive research capitalising on strengths across the disciplines of laboratory, clinical and public health research. Extending from this objective, Murdoch Childrens also aims to drive enterprise, initiative and cross-disciplinary interaction, by developing clinical research on the The Royal Children's Hospital Campus. Key priority areas include diabetes, allergies, asthma, premature birth and mental health problems which are on the rise in our children, and conditions such as cancer and genetic disorders that remain unsolved.
Working with our campus partners The Royal Children's Hospital and the University of Melbourne's Department of Paediatrics gives Murdoch Childrens a unique opportunity to more quickly translate research discoveries into practical treatments and preventative measures for children.
Murdoch Childrens' values include: innovation, integrity, teamwork and the excitement of discovery.
At Murdoch Childrens, we respect our staff as much as the people who come through our doors, with a commitment to ongoing training and development and a range of employee benefits such as:
