Since 2012, the Gallipoli Medical Research Foundation has partnered with RSL Queensland to enhance the health and wellbeing of our veterans and their families.
To date RSL Queensland has committed over $15 million to support our research in to reducing the prevalence and severity of mental health issues, and assist with the transition to civilian life for ADF personnel.
RSL Queensland helps in real and practical ways including Mental health support, Emergency financial assistance, Bereavement assistance for Defence families who have lost loved ones, Help with compensation claims through the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, Referrals to peer support groups and other specialist services, Visiting the sick, injured and lonely in hospital and/or at their homes, Short term crisis accommodation and Subsidised longer term housing solutions.
The University of Queensland
As the custodians of more than 4000 future medical and biomedical health clinicians and researchers, the Faculty of Medicine is driven, dedicated, and duty-bound to ensure our next generation of doctors, scientists, and health professionals is equipped with the tools to achieve their vision.
Reconfigured on 1 January 2017, the Faculty combines two research intensive schools, medical education, and five hospital-based institutes and centres. In doing so, we have achieved broad coverage of the ‘translational pipeline’ linking the pre-clinical and clinical sciences with population and global health.
Within our Faculty, we are teachers and we are researchers. We are students and we are staff. We are health professionals and together, we are united in our quest to make a global difference to health outcomes.

- Discovery, development and release of the world’s first cervical cancer vaccine.
- Clinical trials of the vaccine program in developing countries.
- Identification of genes responsible for one-third of the risk of developing ankylosing spondylitis.
- Development of a new test to identify patients with the potential to develop diabetes.
- Design of one the first needle-free vaccine technologies.
- Discovery of gene-silencing technology for cancer treatment.
- Identification of new genes involved in multiple sclerosis.
