Who we are:
The Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society (ARCSHS) is a leading research and knowledge translation centre housed in the School of Psychology and Public Health at La Trobe University. Founded in 1993, we have expertise in the areas of sex and sexual health, gender and sexuality, family violence, and alcohol and other drug consumption, as well as numerous other aligned topics. We also have extensive experience developing the capability of health and human services to integrate evidence into practice.
Located on the La Trobe University Bundoora campus in Melbourne, ARCSHS is a community of nearly 50 academic, knowledge translation and professional support staff from diverse backgrounds and disciplines. We have a longstanding and successful higher degree research program – with 15–20 students – where we support future generations of researchers to build their skills to work in areas relevant to our purpose.
Why we are here:
Our purpose is to create and translate knowledge that enables inclusion, equity, health and wellbeing, particularly as they relate to sex, gender, sexuality and relationships. Through our research and knowledge translation work, we support better understandings of, and solutions for, social problems facing communities in Australia and the world today.
What we do:
Research: we conduct innovative research in diverse disciplines. We use a range of methodologies and approaches to generate critical new knowledge that shapes thought, practice, policy and law.
Knowledge translation: we bring research to practice by translating evidence into actionable insights for policymakers, legislators, practitioners and communities. This helps them to identify and implement strategies to promote inclusion, equity, health and wellbeing.
