AYHC is an independent, non-profit and non-political registered Australian charity run by young people studying various disciplines. We are supported by the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences at the University of Melbourne. Our vision is to enable students to make a constructive difference to local and international health issues whilst encouraging them to strive for equity, empower themselves with knowledge, and engage others with respect. Striving for equity: We seek to identify and combat existing health inequities in the world with the aim of ensuring everyone has the same quality of outcome matched to their particular needs. Empowering with knowledge: We strive to operate effectively and efficiently by acquiring knowledge of world-best practices with regard to approaching health issues, acting sustainably, and demonstrating integrity. Engaging with respect: We endeavour to learn from and respect different ways of life and opinions in our world. We actively strive to collaborate with others and to encourage the efforts and contributions of all. Developing potential: We aspire to and take full responsibility for equipping our members with the leadership, initiative, and creativity needed to make a positive difference in the world.
