The Australian Institute of Health Policy Studies (AIHPS) is a national institute devoted to studying the ways in which health policy can improve the health of all Australians. This Institute also aims to improve Australia's capacity for health policy research and to contribute to improved interaction between the relevant government, non-government and health industry partners.

AIHPS is not based in a single institution, but rather, it harnesses the research capacity, policy and other expertise coming from a number of universities and other organisations from right around Australia, as well as many other health and non-health industry organisations from the government, non-government and private sectors.
