Welcome to the
Core Foundation
The Canberra Orthopaedic Research and Education Foundation (CORE) was established to provide a dedicated not-for-profit funding body to support world leading and future focused care of patients with orthopaedic conditions in the ACT region.
We are a central point in which funding for orthopaedic research and education within the ACT can be distributed. Orthopaedic surgeons in the ACT strive to provide advanced evidence-based care. CORE supports this by funding education and research, with the aim of sharing our research findings with the global orthopaedic community.
The CORE model supports orthopaedic research in the ACT and access to education opportunities to help develop and improve orthopaedic outcomes.
