Australian Centre for Human Health Risk Assessment (ACHHRA)

ACHHRA is a consortium of four Australian Universities with expertise in human health risk assessment.
Its establishment was funded by a grant from the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing through the Innovations Program of the Public Health Education and Research Program (PHERP).

Main focus - human exposure to hazardous chemicals and microorganisms arising from environmental or occupational media (air, water, soil, food). 
Hazardous chemicals and exposures may be of natural origin or result from anthropogenic activities.

ACHHRA offers a multidisciplinary approach to health risk assessment, with access to expertise in epidemiology, toxicology, environmental sciences, analytical chemistry, microbiology, communicable diseases, clinical evaluation and biostatistics.
