Advocacy

As one of Australia's leading independent medical research institutes, the Baker Institute is committed to playing a significant leadership role in health and medical research.
One way that we do that is by being an active member of peak health and scientific leadership organisations. The Institute is proud to be a member of the following groups: 

Alfred Research Alliance
The Alfred Research Alliance is a vibrant collaborative community in Melbourne, dedicated to excellence in medical research and education.
