The Kolling Institute is the longest-running medical research institute in NSW, celebrating its 100^th anniversary in 2020.

The common goal of all our researchers is to bridge medical research and health – achieved by helping diagnose, prevent and treat diseases to improve the care of patients and the wider community.

The three research priority areas that the Institute is focusing on are Musculoskeletal, Neuroscience and Pain, and Cardiovascular and Renal research.

The Kolling Institute is located on the grounds of Royal North Shore Hospital, giving our researchers the opportunity and accessibility to incorporate medical breakthroughs into clinical practice.

The NORTH Foundation are committed to supporting our medical research teams by raising funds to translate their research into tangible outcomes for our patients and community.

The facility has a home-like feel, accessible to teens and young adults and their families and support networks.
