BUILDING TRUST, One Project at a Time
We believe in the power of long term partnerships
We’ve had the privilege of partnering with some of the leading organisations in the health research sector, delivering projects that range from comprehensive research portals to interactive, data-driven websites that engage and inform.
Our goal isn’t just to deliver a great product and move on—it’s to build a lasting relationship where we continuously support and enhance your digital presence as your needs evolve.
We’re proud of the strong, enduring relationships we’ve developed with our health research clients, many of whom we’ve worked with for years, providing everything from strategic consultancy to ongoing technical support.
Here are just a few examples of how we’ve helped our clients achieve their digital goals.
Research Data Alliance
We’ve built an ongoing technical and strategic partnership with the Research Data Alliance, stepping in after their previous provider was unable to meet the project’s deliverables. Since then, we’ve been steadily transforming their platform—improving user experience and integrating essential tools like a ROR API connection to make sure that organisations are linked to their ROR id. Through iterative updates, we’re helping RDA better connect their global community and share critical research outputs.
The George Institute for Global Health
The George Institute for Global Health has partnered with us for over a decade to support their global health mission through a robust, scalable digital platform. The latest iteration of their website features a custom Drupal Gutenberg block library, giving editors complete freedom to build engaging content with ease. Microsite and landing page functionality allow for flexible campaign rollouts and targeted messaging. A key highlight is the integration with TGI’s proprietary publications data repository – where we use researcher’s ORCID to match relative publications with TGI’s researchers.
Australian Research Data Commons
We work closely with ARDC on a range of digital projects, including a dynamic campaign aimed at empowering researchers across Australia. The project involved creating engaging digital content and tools that resonate with the research community, driving greater awareness and adoption of ARDC’s resources. Our work has helped ARDC strengthen its connection with researchers, fostering a supportive and innovative research environment.
HeatNexus
We’ve partnered with a European client to deliver the HeatNexus website—an initiative funded by the Wellcome Trust and managed by the Institute of Development Studies. The multilingual platform features an interactive map showcasing geolocated research projects focused on heat and health. To support easy content updates, we implemented our exclusive Block Library, giving editors full flexibility while maintaining brand consistency. The result is a fast, scalable site that’s engaging, accessible, and built for a global audience.
The Centre for Sex & Gender Equity in Health and Medicine
We’re proud to support the Centre for Sex and Gender Equity in Health and Medicine, a groundbreaking Australian initiative addressing bias in health and medical research. Their new website features a robust resource library and expert directory to help users access vital, evidence-based information. We also implemented a secure magic link system, allowing experts to update their profiles without needing an account—making engagement simple and seamless.
Health Translation Queensland
We’ve been collaborating with Health Translational Queensland for about a year, focusing on two major hubs—one dedicated to clinical trials and the other to mental health. We’re absolutely thrilled to be a part of these impactful projects, as well as other smaller initiatives on the side. With the launch anticipated by the end of August, we’re incredibly excited to see these sites go live and make a difference in the healthcare landscape.
Victorian Translational Research Institute
The Victorian Translational Research Institute approached us a year and a half ago for a complete website redesign and better integration of their forms with Salesforce. Initially, they opted to work with a Salesforce company for direct form management, but after some unfortunate setbacks, they’ve returned to us for a more reliable solution. We delivered a sleek, fast, and highly praised website, and are now successfully integrating the website’s forms with Salesforce, ensuring a seamless and efficient process that meets their needs. We’re thrilled to continue our partnership, providing the expertise and support they can count on.
National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance Australia (NCIRS)
For the past six years, we’ve partnered with NCIRS, Australia’s trusted immunisation experts, managing and supporting their five Drupal websites. Our work includes major upgrades and homepage redesigns, ensuring these platforms remain current and effective in informing the Australian public on vital immunisation topics. We collaborate closely with the NCIRS team on a monthly basis to maintain and enhance their digital presence.
Maridulu Budyari Gumal (SPHERE)
After an in-depth research and discovery phase, coupled with numerous stakeholder workshops, we designed and developed a new website for Maridulu Budyari Gumal , also known as the Sydney Partnership for Health, Education, Research, and Enterprise (SPHERE) This coalition of 15 leading organisations is dedicated to making an evidence-based impact on healthcare, focusing on collaboration, amplification, transformation, and impact. Our extensive planning ensured that the complexity of their organisation is easily understood by visitors, with strategically placed calls to action encouraging engagement. We’re thrilled that the new website now enables them to communicate effectively with their stakeholders and target audience, supporting their mission to transform healthcare together.
Sydney Health Partners
Sydney Health Partners is dedicated to rapidly and consistently delivering the benefits of research innovation to patients and the broader community. We designed and developed a website that plays a crucial role in advancing this mission, providing a user-friendly platform that facilitates the translation of cutting-edge research into tangible health outcomes. Beyond the initial build, we continue to provide ongoing support and strategic advice, helping Sydney Health Partners operate more efficiently and effectively. Our collaboration ensures that their digital presence remains a powerful tool in driving positive change in healthcare, ultimately benefiting the lives of many.
The Australian Prevention Partnership Centre
We’ve had the privilege of working with The Australian Prevention Partnership Centre on a transformative project that redefined their digital presence. The project included a complete website redesign, extensive data restructuring, and the creation of a comprehensive Resource Hub. Our long-term collaboration has enhanced their ability to share valuable research and resources with the health community.
The Sax Institute
We undertook a comprehensive site redesign for The SAX Institute, focusing on better connecting with stakeholders and showcasing their impact at the intersection of research and health decision-making. The new site features a streamlined resource hub, integrated event registration, and a complete data restructure, significantly improving user experience. The updated website has been very well received by stakeholders, reinforcing SAX’s leadership in the field.
Medical Science Sex and Gender Equity
We worked closely with the MESSAGE project, dedicated to enhancing the integration of sex and gender considerations in biomedical health and care research across the UK. The site redesign was crafted to engage policymakers and highlight the profound impact of the centre’s research on policy change. This project resonates deeply with our team’s values, and we’re proud to have contributed to its mission of advancing medical science, sex, and gender equity.
