Strengths lie in allied health, nursing and translational research, which is deeply embedded through partnerships with not-for-profits, service providers and the entire WA health system.

Through the health sciences, we discover new medical breakthroughs and develop our understanding of the mind and mental wellbeing. We make waves in crucial research, such as disease management, neurosciences, genomics, human movement and rehabilitation, and metabolic health.

Our Impact

Speech clinic makes meaningful change

In 2022, Jordan Bowling suffered a serious brain injury after falling off a cliff, that left him fighting for life. After re-learning how to walk and talk, the 23-year-old is now making meaningful progress thanks to Curtin’s student-led speech clinic, which personalises sessions to meet his age, interests and needs.

Climate change linked to stillbirths

Sheets of fire raging through bushland against an apocalyptic sky. It’s an all-too-familiar sight in Australian summers, alongside native animals limping through blackened habitats while helicopters drop water bombs.
Australia’s climate has warmed by about 1.47°C since national records began in 1910, with climate change turbocharging our vulnerability to extreme weather events such as fire, drought, floods, storms, hurricanes, and heatwaves.

Meet Andy

WA Chief Health Officer and Curtin grad Dr Andy Robertson has treated Navy personnel, been threatened at gunpoint, managed WA Health’s response to the 2004 Bali bombings, and has now also coordinated WA’s COVID-19 response.

“My proudest moments have been providing public health and medical services to areas which really need some help at the time, getting them through a difficult period until their own services can get back on their feet.”

Meet Neesha

Curtin psychology grad Neesha Seth enjoyed the good times as a uni student, but she also took her studies seriously – and has a flourishing career to show for it.

Now she is the President of United Nations Association of Australia’s WA Young Professionals Network, manages her own consultancy in organisational psychology and presents for a chat show called The Couch.

Meet Ezz

Afghanistan refugee and nursing graduate Ezz Rahmati said attaining a tertiary education at Curtin changed his life.

Growing up in the war-torn country surrounded by violence and poverty Ezz never gave up hope of a brighter future.
Using his nursing degree, he hopes to work in developing nations, where he can help those less fortunate access common medicine and prevent unnecessary deaths from treatable infections.

Jump Start Nursing

Jump Start Nursing

Registered nurses are key to a safe healthcare system. In this time of workforce shortage, attracting students to study nursing is essential so that we can continue to offer person centred quality care to individuals, families and communities.

Jump Start Nursing will assist first-year nursing students with $500 which will allow them to purchase critical items needed for their clinical placements. Uniforms, mask fitting, police clearance and CPR training all add up, and many students struggle to find the money to cover these costs.

You have the opportunity to support first-year nursing students with their out-of-pocket expenses by donating to Jump Start Nursing. Let’s extend a helping hand and ensure all students can excel in their nursing career without delay.

Hi, my name is Rachael. 👋 My mum, Allison Taylor, passed away in March 2022. Mum raised me by herself, while gracefully juggling the demands of work, study, and fighting breast cancer. In the weeks leading to mum's passing, we spoke about her achievements, the ups and downs of her colourful life and the mark she wanted to leave on the world. Mum understood the immense honour of raising children, and the responsibility that we have as parents to guide future generations. We came to the idea of creating the Allison Taylor Single Mum Scholarship, which would be something meaningful, rather than solely focusing on the huge loss we were about to face. We talked about her wish for this scholarship and the impact and incredible opportunity this could have in helping transform the lives of single mums and their children. This scholarship represents so much to me as Allison’s daughter. It’s more than an opportunity to empower single mums to achieve financial security; it’s a beautiful way to honour the memory of an amazing woman who gave so generously to others, and in doing so, her legacy can continue long after her passing. Education is powerful: its impact encompasses generations, ignites opportunities and changes lives. 💛 Find out how you can make education your legacy via the link in bio. ☝️ 📷: Rachael Taylor pictured to the left of Allison Taylor Single Mum Scholarship recipient, Felicity Taylor at the 2024 Curtin Scholarships Event. #CurtinUniversity #GivingBack #AllisonTaylorScholarship #NationalCharityWeek #CharityWeek #Leadership #Opportunity #Education #HigherEducation #Scholarship #SingleMums
