The Menzies School of Health Research is celebrating its 40th anniversary.

It’s Australia’s leading medical research institute for improving health outcomes for First Nations people and its reach now extends beyond our shores to the Asia Pacific region.

To commemorate this milestone, Menzies has chosen a collection of papers published in the MJA to highlight their research.

Professor Alan Cass AO is the Director of Menzies and joins me now to discuss its work, its history and its future.
