Everyone deserves access to early health screening, no matter where they live, yet fatty liver disease, where fat builds up in the liver, affects one in three Australians and often goes undetected.

SAL-Check has the potential to deliver simple, saliva-based testing to rural and remote communities, where access to testing and diagnosis facilities are few and far between, and can mean travelling vast distances.

On Indigenous Veterans’ Commemorative Service Day, we acknowledge the contribution of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander veterans who have served Australia in the armed forces with courage and distinction.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander service men and women have contributed to every Australian conflict since the Boer War. Despite this, many who returned home were denied the same rights and entitlements as other veterans.

Today, we recognise their service and sacrifice.

For CPO Watego, NAIDOC week is not just a celebration of his culture, but also seeing more of Indigenous Australians integrating into the military, and especially women. He said more are enlisting thanks to opportunities like Navy’s Indigenous Development and Indigenous Pre-Recruit programs.

By 2035, women are expected to make over a third of the Australian Defence Force, but the health system is not yet ready.

Female veterans experience higher rates of chronic health conditions than their male counterparts, and too often, care is shaped by research that did not include them. The result is delayed diagnosis, mislabelled symptoms and care that misses the mark.

GMR is changing this by designing research that turns lived experience into practical tools translating to better care.

Donate to our Tax Appeal today and help ensure female veterans feel heard, understood and have access to tailored health care: https://www.gallipoliresearch.com.au/tax-appeal-2026/

Two in three recently transitioned ADF members suffer fatigue and poor sleep. The encouraging part is that even simple habits, like keeping a consistent sleep schedule, reducing screen time at night, limiting caffeine, and getting out of bed if you’re lying awake, can improve sleep over time.

Gallipoli Medical Research Clinical Psychologist Dr Sarah Hampton says even small changes can interrupt a negative feedback loop and start to build healthy new habits.

On National Volunteering Week, we celebrate the veterans finding new purpose in community sport.

Chris Thomson has moved from de-escalating explosives to de-escalating disputes between players, parents and officials.

We've partnered with Hockey Queensland to highlight the important role sport can play in helping military veterans rebuild connection, identity and purpose after leaving Defence.

“For many, participation in a clinical trial represents hope: hope for better outcomes, improved quality of life, or simply more time. But it is also an act of generosity. Every participant contributes to a broader legacy, helping shape the future of medicine for others.”

On International Clinical Trials Day, Gallipoli Medical Research Associate Director of Clinical Trials Sashika Naidoo talks about the people behind the scenes, ensuring our trials in liver, respiratory and oncology research shape better health, stronger evidence, and tomorrow’s treatments.

“We see the consequences of gender bias in healthcare clearly in our work with female veterans,” says GMR CEO, Miriam Kent.

From ill-fitting equipment to a culture of pushing through injury, many women carry the long-term impact of service. Yet their needs are still often misunderstood in civilian healthcare.

At GMR, we are turning their lived experience into action—developing practical tools to help clinicians better understand and support women who have served.
