Membership
The Association brings together individuals and groups in Australia and New Zealand doing, funding, implementing and disseminating health services research, in order to improve the health system and the health services patients receive. Our members are leaders in the field of HSR and come together to share information and advice, network with peers, mentors and policy makers and to help shape the health services research landscape. Members receive the latest HSR news and get early access to employment, research and funding opportunities. Membership includes discounted access to the HSR Conference and other events. Your support enables us to influence the research landscape and to move evidence into practice
Why Join HSRAANZ?
Membership Types and Benefits
Membership of the HSRAANZ operates on a yearly basis, based on the date you join. The Association has a variety of membership options.
| Partner Membership | Centre Membership | Team Membership | Individual Membership | |
| Larger groups or organisations, who want to support HSRAANZ, have the affiliation recognised, provide benefits to all staff and students and access exclusive partner events. | Smaller groups, such as research centres within universities or health services that are not large enough to justify a partner membership, but want to support the Association, promote their work and provide member benefits for up to 10 individuals. | Team membership recognises that sometimes it is a specific project or body of work that unites a group of people under the umbrella of health services research. A Research Team membership provides up to 5 individuals with all the benefits of being a HSRAANZ member, and provides avenues to disseminate the team’s work through our webinar program, website, social media and conference. | Individual staff and students doing, funding, implementing and disseminating health services research, in order to improve the health system and the health services patients receive. | |
