The QANTAS Spirit of Research Partnership provides the Institute with the capacity to travel, build collaborations and share scientific knowledge and expertise across Australia and the world.

This travel support is vital to developing the capacity of Institute researchers and fulfilling the Institute mission to improve and promote the health and wellbeing of all children through the unique application of multidisciplinary research.

The Partnership also supports the annual QANTAS New Investigator Award, an important initiative that allows a promising Institute researcher to attend an international scientific conference and visit other research organisations.

“Our wonderful sponsorship from QANTAS has been crucial for the Institute as QANTAS provides travel during the year for our researchers and staff. This support is vital given that we do not receive funding for these types of expenses. It is so important for our staff to build their knowledge and experience, particularly with the isolation of Western Australia from other key research centres. This is a fantastic investment and incredibly valuable to us.”

Professor Fiona Stanley, Director, Telethon Institute for Child Health Research
