The UNSW IHHR is governed by a cross-University Steering Committee, the members of which are actively engaged in research, education and service related to the Initiative's aims. The UNSW IHHR has active linkages to and collaboration with a wide array of national and international organisations in Australia, the Asia-Pacific Region and globally.

Prof. Daniel Tarantola, Professor of Health and Human Rights at the UNSW, is the founding and current Chair of the UNSW IHHR.

 

The IHHR is being directed and governed by two separate bodies:

 

The Management Committee is responsible for overseeing the financial and organisational management of the IHHR. It is composed of the NewSouth Global Professor in Health and Human Rights along with two representatives from the Faculties of Arts and Social Sciences, Law and Medicine.

 

The Steering Committee is responsible of overseeing and steering the scientific work of the IHHR. It derives its membership from the three constitutive faculties and representatives from non-government organisations such as the Australian Indigenous Doctors' Association and the Australian Federation of AIDS Organisations.
