AUSTRALIAN ROTARY HEALTH
 
Australian Rotary Health is one of the largest independent funders of mental health research within Australia.
Australian Rotary Health provides funding towards research grants, fellowships and PhD scholarships focussed on finding preventative and curative solutions for mental illness in young Australians. From 2022, our funding focus will narrow to the mental health of children aged 0-12.
We also provide funding into a broad range of general health areas, provide scholarships for rural medical and nursing students, as well as Indigenous health students. Australian Rotary Health provides funding into areas of health that do not readily attract funding and promotes findings to the community.
Australian Rotary Health is a project of the Rotary Districts of Australia and is supported by Rotary Clubs.  We have a broad vision to improve the health and wellbeing of all Australians.
 
We have just published our 2022 Facts Booklet! This publication details all the research and programs that we fund and has information about what we do, campaigns, and upcoming events.

Tuesday 15th February was International Childhood Cancer Day and is a global collaborative campaign aimed to raise awareness about childhood cancer and to mark a day of support for all millions whose lives are impacted by cancer.
There are an estimated 750 children aged 0-14 being diagnosed with cancer each year in Australia (Cancer Council, 2022). Raising awareness on childhood cancer can encourage research and early intervention to better help future cancer diagnosis and therapies.
Australian Rotary Health (ARH) funded childhood cancer research in 2013-16, through their Harry Banks Sutherland Rotary PhD Scholarship.
