Pillar 2: Partnerships & Collaborations

Build strategic partnerships to amplify impact and deliver shared outcomes.

      • Joint initiatives with colleges, societies, and clinical groups
      • Cross‑sector partnerships with government, industry, and research organisations
      • Trans‑Tasman collaboration to strengthen shared priorities
      • Participation in panels, roundtables, and advisory groups
      • Collaborative models that support predictive, preventative, and personalised care

HSANZ will shift from informal relationships to structured, strategic partnerships; formalising links with key bodies and diversifying its funding base.

Formalise relationships with government bodies, research bodies and other haematology organisations through partnership agreements.

Consolidate education efforts with local, Trans-Pacific and Asia-Pacific partners, including publication of Blood Conference meeting abstracts.

Diversify funding sources, via partnerships with universities, government, and philanthropic foundations.

Prioritise opportunities for engaging younger trainees and researchers.
