Health and Development Alliance (HaDA)

Our mission and vision

The broad aim of the Australian Health and Development Alliance is to contribute to the ethical, efficient, coordinated provision of health care assistance from the Australian community to communities elsewhere in the world and thereby to enhance dialogue, communication and mutual understanding between these communities.

The Alliance seeks:

• To provide a forum in which Australian health professionals can share experiences, knowledge and ideas about the philosophy underlying and the provision of health aid and to work in a cooperative manner to develop collaborative projects;
• To develop an inventory of services and resources that can be made available to governments, non-government organisations and other groups seeking assistance from the Australian health care community;
• To provide a point of contact for potential donors seeking access to particular forms of expertise and knowledge and other resources to assist them with their work; and
• To develop and help implement action plans by conducting needs assessments and engaging in dialogues with local communities in partnership with local organisations.
