Team

The IMPACT study was designed by a team of experts in health, research and policy in collaboration with the Australian government.

IMPACT is led by the Royal Women’s Hospital in Melbourne, in collaboration with The Kirby Institute at UNSW, Melbourne Sexual Health Centre, Victorian Cytology Service, Cancer Council New South Wales, Menzies School of Population Health, Family Planning New South Wales, The University of Sydney, and The University of Melbourne. The program brings together internationally recognised epidemiologists, surveillance experts, sexual health physicians and policy experts from across Australia.

The Program is also part of the National Health and Medical Research Council Centre for Research Excellence in Cervical Cancer Control (C4 CRE), forming a core component of the HPV Vaccination and Methods streams. The CRE is led by Prof Karen Canfell at the Cancer Council New South Wales.
