The Menzies School of Health Research was established in 1985 as a body corporate of the Northern Territory (NT) Government under the Menzies School of Health Research Act 1985 .  

This Act was amended in 2004 to formalise Menzies' relationship with Charles Darwin University (CDU). Menzies is now a school within CDU's Institute of Advanced Studies.

His Honour Mr Tom Pauling AO QC, Administrator of Northern Territory, is the official Patron of the Menzies School of Health Research.
