Our history

A quick look back at some major milestones since our establishment in 2014.


2025: We launched our new Action Plan 2025-2027 to connect the right people, build the capability of our research translation workforce and remove barriers to collaboration to accelerate translation.

We received $1 million funding from July 2025 for a 2-year period, provided through the National Health and Medical Research Council’s (NHMRC) 2025-26 Supporting Research Translation Centres grant opportunity.


2023: We became the host organisation for 2 years for the Australian Health Research Alliance (AHRA) - the national peak body for NHMRC accredited and recognised Research Translation Centres.

We launched our inaugural Impact Report 2022-2023 demonstrating the milestones and achievements of our organisation and our partnership.


2022: We welcomed 2 new partners to the collaborative network, including Griffith University in October 2022 and Gold Coast Health in December 2022.

We were re-accredited by National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) as a Research Translation Centre.


2021: Health Translation Queensland launched in November 2021 as the next evolution of the collaborative partnership formerly known as Brisbane Diamantina Health Partners (BDHP). Health Translation Queensland reflects the statewide remit of many of the challenges and opportunities the organisation is tasked to address, and confirms its role to support the translation of research into Queensland healthcare.


2020: The Australian e-Health Research Centre, a collaboration between Queensland Health and CSIRO joined the BDHP partnership.


2018: BDHP was accredited by the NHMRC as an Advanced Health Research and Translation Centre.


2016: The BDHP partnership expanded to include Queensland Health, the Brisbane South Primary Health Network and most recently West Moreton Health.


2014: Brisbane Diamantina Health Partners was established through an early collaborative agreement between Mayne Health Science Alliance, Diamantina Health Partners and Children’s Health Queensland, effectively bringing together Metro North HHS, QIMR Berghofer, UQ, QUT, Metro South Health, TRI, Mater Health and Children’s Health Queensland.
