The Austin ICU Research Office was established following the arrival of Prof Rinaldo Bellomo in 1994. The aim was to create an environment capable of designing, conducting, and participating in local, national and international research involving intensive care patients.

The Austin ICU research office is now a highly collegial, multi-disciplinary team of intensive care clinicians and researchers who are dedicated to providing and promoting evidence to support and improve patient care.
