The Fraser Mustard Centre collaboration aims to:

• improve and promote the health and wellbeing of all children and young people in South Australia through the unique application of multidisciplinary research
• help shift focus from the historical delineation between health and education services to an integrated approach with a focus on child development
• build capacity amongst public sector staff and academic researchers to design, undertake and use research to improve the environments in which children live and the service systems which support families
• attract funding for shared priorities for research that leads to improved developmental, education, health and wellbeing outcomes for children
