The organisation
Headquartered in Sydney but with staff on three continents, Policy Cures Research is a unique, purpose-driven organisation with a global profile and a desire to achieve impact at scale.
Staffed by a team of passionate, intelligent, and driven individuals with backgrounds in medicine, finance, international development, economics, public health and more, Policy Cures Research is a global health-focused research & policy organisation that believes that better health can, and should, be accessible for all people.
Policy Cures Research works with groups like the World Health Organization and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to translate its evidence and expert analysis into policy outcomes that drive medical research and biomedical innovation for neglected and underfunded health issues – particularly those that disproportionately affect low- and middle-income countries.
Established in 2016, Policy Cures Research has grown from a solely Sydney-based staff of 8 people to a team of 22 permanent staff located across Australia, Europe and Africa. This growing global footprint has been accompanied by a significant expansion in the scope of work that the organisation undertakes.
