MUARC – an independent voice

MUARC conducts research of the highest standard, creates new and improved methods and provides incisive interpretations of research findings. The Centre identifies emerging injury problems, monitors progress, determines and evaluates solutions and advises on safety strategies.

The Centre works cooperatively with both public and private sector organisations to define the scope of research projects and encourage the adoption of recommended injury prevention measures. Many of the senior researchers at MUARC are active at the national and international level and the Centre is regarded as one of the leading injury prevention research centres in the world. As such MUARC plays an important role providing an independent voice on injury prevention research and initiatives, policy decisions and promoting a safe and healthy community.
