Our founding partnership is a shining example of what can be achieved when we come together to collaborate.
Our 1700+ HMRI affiliates include academics, scientists, public health researchers, clinicians, and students employed by our partner organisations, bringing together a diverse ecosystem dedicated to excellent health and medical research.
By creating an environment that supports and enables collaboration, the HMRI partnership ensures that the health needs of the community are always at the forefront.
Through our physical links with Hunter New England Local Health District and the John Hunter Hospital, we play a vital role in integrating excellent clinical care and innovation with the world leading basic, translational and population health research from the University of Newcastle.
The community plays a crucial role in shaping health and medical research at HMRI and across the Hunter New England region.
We place our community at the core of all our strategic and research endeavors, striving to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of health services throughout our region.
When we partner with the community, health and medical research becomes more relevant to our community’s needs. Our community’s involvement, participation and insights help shape our research priorities at HMRI.
Collaborating with our community is essential to drive more effective and impactful research outcomes for our region. We’re listening, learning and connecting to the one million people in our region. This empowers us to embed real-world insights throughout the entire research translation journey, from the lab directly into hospitals, the healthcare system and everyday lives.
Our community − from our families, to donors, patients and businesses and more − are the driving force behind our work at HMRI.
Strong community backing and leadership are crucial for advancing health and medical research in our region. The Chair of the HMRI Board is also a community member, ensuring that HMRI and Hunter researchers continue to remain focused on the needs of our community, now and into the future.
Guided by its values of equity, excellence, sustainability and engagement, the University of Newcastle has built a strong reputation as a world-leading university making an impact and creating extraordinary outcomes within its own regions, in Australia and across the globe.

It is a research-intensive university and has achieved great things in collaboration with its partners in industry, business, government and the community in the Hunter and around the world.
Through its strategic partnerships with HMRI and expanding collaborations, the University of Newcastle continues to push the boundaries of innovation and discovery locally and globally.
The University’s sights are set firmly on the future, as it continues to build on its research strengths and maintain its position as a destination for the world’s best researchers and global innovation leaders.
The Hunter New England Local Health District provides public health services across the Newcastle, Hunter Valley, New England and Lower Mid North Coast regions. It spans 25 local government areas, providing health services to nearly 1 million people.
The service is committed to ensuring genuine patient and community partnership in healthcare decisions, planning services, designing care and monitoring and evaluating health services.
It has a strong focus and track record in supporting innovative, patient-focussed research, and has established a dedicated Research, Innovation and Partnerships unit to provide advice and practical support for the translation of ideas into improved practices.
The HMRI Building is strategically situated within the new $835 million John Hunter Health & Innovation Precinct, which centres around the region’s largest acute facility, the John Hunter Hospital. This is also NSW’s biggest teaching hospital with an outstanding track record for high-level, clinically-relevant translational research.
HMRI’s strong partnership with HNELHD creates a dynamic environment for researchers and clinicians to ask important health questions and translate research discoveries into practice through clinical trials and population health studies.
Hunter New England Local Health District also encompasses Calvary Mater Newcastle, which houses and supports a vast number of clinical trials, dedicated research laboratories, as well as observational and implementation research, accessible to HMRI researchers.
HMRI would like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live, the Awabakal and Worimi peoples, and pay our respects to Elders past and present. We recognise and respect their cultural heritage and beliefs and their continued connection to their land.
