History
The Australian Defence Force first identified the need for an academic centre to specifically support the disciplines of military and veterans’ health in the late 1990s.
By 1999, the Australian Government proposed the establishment of a Centre for Military and Veterans’ Health and by 2002, had selected a Consortia of The University of Queensland (UQ), the University of Adelaide (UA) and Charles Darwin University (CDU) to establish the Centre.
The UQ and UA Nodes of CMVH first began operations in 2004, with the CDU Node opening its doors in 2006.
CMVH has gained an international reputation as the pre-eminent provider of military and veterans’ health Research, Professional Development, and Think Tank programs in the Asia Pacific region.
