| The Centre has established a research program which has been responsive to community and health service needs, with an emphasis on collaborative effort and capacity building. The Centre has particular strengths in remote health services research, health services planning and development. Centre staff have built partnerships with communities and organisations so that research activities are guided by community knowledge in order to improve the health of people in remote regions of Australia. One of CRH's primary aims has been to support communities to benefit not only from the results of research but also from involvement in the research process. The Centre's capacity building capability was greatly enhanced by the Commonwealth Primary Health Care Research Evaluation and Development program funding (PHCRED). | |

| The Centre's research activities have been characterised by a broad range of research topics, many in response to the requests of communities, community organisations and government. The strong partnerships built over this period will allow further appropriate growth of the Centre's research effort in order to strike a balance of shorter, contracted research and sustained longer term research programs | |
