Transforming together: A new chapter in health research
For four decades, Menzies has been at the forefront of health research in the Northern Territory, expanding from Darwin to establish offices in Alice Springs, and Dili, Timor-Leste.
Today, we solve health challenges through leading high-quality research. By providing education and capacity strengthening, we empower health professionals, policymakers, and communities to drive life-changing solutions. While founded in the Northern Territory, our impact is felt far beyond. We lead global efforts to fight life-threatening illnesses in the Asia-Pacific and across the world and train the experts of tomorrow – today.
We believe everyone should have access to high-quality healthcare – especially those who need it most. By joining scientific knowledge with shared wisdom, we help to close the gap, creating healthier communities for all. But our results are only half the story. The true measure of what we do lies in building strong collaborations and creating meaningful employment opportunities for people affected by our work. After all, it takes local insights combined with scientific knowledge to create lasting change.
Our mission is simple – to shape a healthier, more equitable future where every community can thrive. We undertook a brand refresh to create a unifying identity that represents our organisation. Through consultation with staff across Darwin, Alice Springs, and Timor-Leste, and key stakeholders, we developed a contemporary identity that reflects our community-centred research approach. It honours our 40-year legacy and reaffirms our commitment to health equity through meaningful partnerships.

New colours inspired by our surrounds
Our brand colours are inspired by the land we call home. Soil, Sky, and Sea capture the beauty of the NT and our connection to Timor-Leste. Anchoring it all is a deep, dark blue—a connection to the world.
Our Commitment to Reconciliation
We deeply value our relationship with First Nations communities and are committed to ensuring their voices and knowledge guide how we approach representation and health research.
Through engagement with our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Brand Advisory Group has been instrumental in shaping our new brand identity. During key Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Days of Significance, we are proud to feature a special brand overlay created by respected artist Jayde Hopkins.
This approach reflects our ongoing commitment to meaningful engagement with First Nations communities while respecting cultural ownership and authenticity.
