Australian Rotary Health is a health promotion charity that is dedicated to creating healthier minds, bodies and communities through research, awareness and education.

We are one of the largest independent health research funds in Australia and have provided more than $24 million to health research since 1981. As a health promotion charity, Australian Rotary Health funds a number of other programs.

We provide scholarships to nursing and medical students who wish to study in rural or remote locations, as well as Indigenous students studying health based degrees.

We also run a number of community awareness programs, such as Mental Health First Aid, that help promote a wider acceptance and awareness of mental issues throughout Australian communities.

With mental health set to become a world health problems by 2020, and with almost 20% of Australian's suffering from a mental health problem at some point during their lifetime, Australian Rotary Health believes in focusing on and supporting vital research into this area.
