Formed in 2016, the Australian Global Health Alliance, (originally known as the Global Health Alliance Melbourne), cultivates a comprehensive perspective of the regional global health ecosystem and identifies non-traditional partnerships that individual organisations and institutions often can't do. These strategic connections impact over the long term to:

* provide a platform for the identification of new partnerships, joint ventures and professional relationships
* enhance the capability and capacity of Australian-based global health and development organisations through creative convergence and collaboration
* establish communities of practice across silos in global health
* profile Australia as the global health and sustainable development hub in our region
* build the capacity of the sector and drive sectoral reform and disruption
* support the Alliance as a credible and respected voice

Our approach to building more effective organisations and the capacity of the sector is aligned to a longer term vision for more equitable and improved global health outcomes - mirroring the goals of similar organisations such as the Washington Global Health Alliance while at the same time forging our own alliances to combat other areas in global health.
