Commercial and Economic Determinants of Health Research Translation Centre: A/Prof Neera Bhatia and Others (Deakin University) Jan 2026

The Commercial and Economic Determinants of Health Research Translation Centre is a new 5-year collaboration between Deakin and VicHealth.


The Centre aims to better understand how businesses, industries, and market systems impact health, and explore practical solutions towards healthier, fairer and thriving communities. With an explicit focus on research translation for public health impact, the Centre hopes to drive change in policy systems and incentivise business models that can better support population health and equity.


We aim to do this by:


Generating targeted research, knowledge translation, and dissemination to understand and reshape commercial and economic determinants of health


Transdisciplinary collaboration and engagement with a wide range of interest holders across research, the public sector, non-government organisations, community groups and the business community.


The Centre seeks to be a platform to grow and sustain policy-relevant research activities that create meaningful societal change locally and globally.
