VicHealth is the world’s first health promotion foundation. Established by the Victorian Parliament in 1987, we were the first agency of our kind worldwide to utilise a hypothecated tax on tobacco to support independent, long-term, evidence-based health promotion practice, partnerships and leadership.

We continue to be a global leader in health promotion, as a Collaborating Centre with the World Health Organisation and as a technical partner to UNICEF.

The Research Coordinator reports directly to the Manager, Research and Impact, and will work across the organisation to support the delivery of our research strategy.
