The Centre is a joint venture between the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research and Curtin University of Technology. It is operationally based at both the Curtin (Bentley) and the Institute (Subiaco) campuses. This arrangement has enabled productive research collaborations with other areas of Health Science at Curtin (e.g. Centre for Behaviour Change and Cancer Control, School of Psychology, School of Nursing, and the National Centre for Aboriginal Studies) and with the Divisions of Clinical Sciences and Epidemiology at the Institute.
