Improving health literacy where it matters most
Helping communities navigate misinformation through evidence-based research, education, and digital innovation.
Misinformation is harming health outcomes across Australia.
We develop scalable, evidence-based solutions to improve health literacy in communities that need it most.
Low health literacy affects around 60% of Australians, rising to up to 70% in regional communities. Combined with the rapid spread of online misinformation, this contributes to poorer health outcomes and widening inequities. Improving access to trusted health information is essential for healthier communities.
