We think of the kids
When kids are sick or struggling it’s hard to think of anything else. So, at The Kids Research Institute Australia, we never stop thinking of solutions for happier, healthier kids.
What we do
These are some of our main research focus areas
Autism
Integrating world-class research with clinical service to provide autism therapies and support.
Cancer
Developing more effective, less toxic treatments so all kids with cancer can survive and thrive.
Cyber safety
Explore Beacon, our cyber safety app for every parent and carer.
Diabetes
Bringing together research, education and clinical care to improve the lives of children and young adults living with Diabetes.
Food Allergies
Food allergies affect one in ten kids. Our research is working out why, and how to prevent them.
Mental health
Promoting the social and emotional wellbeing of kids so they can lead mentally healthy lives.
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)
