Welcome to the World Health Organization Collaborating Centre for Environmental Health Impact Assessment located at Curtin University, Perth, Western Australia. The Collaborating Centre provides an opportunity for developers and decision makers in government agencies or private organisations to obtain valuable and relevant assistance on Environmental Health Impact Assessment (EHIA) and Health Impact Assessment (HIA) for new or changes to development, policies and plans. Among its activities the Centre provides opportunities for training and education in the various aspects of EHIA and HIA including specific courses, Fellowship Programs and other initiatives to contribute to capacity building in EHIA and HIA in the Region and beyond.
Some of the key priorities of the Centre include air quality, climate change and the promotion of integration of HIA into EIA.
The Collaborating Centre strives for excellence in research, consultancy and teaching activities.
The Centre aims to carry out its activities by collaborating with a range of other institutions. The collaboration will depend on the range of skills, knowledge and experience needed to carry out the project.
