MHC was engaged to support the Department of Education develop its first research strategy.


NSW Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ), formerly the NSW Department of Family and Community Services, engaged MHC to work alongside them in an MHC-Client joint team to develop a research strategy. MHC managed the process to develop the strategy, co-designed its components, co-led the consultations and co-led the process to set priorities.


Led by Mary Haines, MHC co-designed and operationalised a governance and management framework and established a Project Management Office to support the NSW Health COVID-19 Research Program.
