Neighbourhoods, whether in Australia or abroad, influence the way in which residents live. One of those ways is health. The Ipswich Study is a long-term health research program that will unravel the complexity between neighbourhoods, health and residents in one of Australia’s largest and most ambitious projects of its kind. More than 10,000 Ipswich families will take part in this 10 year study that will benefit not only the Ipswich community, but also business, government and our international research community.
