The Alfred Research Alliance is located at the Alfred precinct in Commercial Road, Melbourne.
The Alfred Research Alliance brings together eight independent and diverse organisations to create a community of excellence for medical research and education.
We are very much defined by our co-location with The Alfred, one of Australia’s busiest hospitals, which offers acute health services in almost every specialist medical and surgical discipline.
Below, you will find contact information for each of the eight organisations that make up the Alfred Research Alliance, as well as transportation options.
