The key objectives of HLEN are to promote high quality, inter-disciplinary research, teaching and engagement in health law and ethics, and to foster collaboration among scholars and clinicians across the University of Melbourne and Parkville precinct. The research facilitated by the Network is directed towards growing the scholarship, offering policy solutions to governments, informing judicial decision-making, and providing input into clinical practice guidelines.

HLEN includes researchers working across the gamut of topics in the health, law and bioethics, including reproductive health; mental health; regulation of health professionals; genomics and other emerging technologies; disability; public health; control of non-communicable diseases; neonatal intensive care; children’s surgeries; and distributive justice.
