The Walter & Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research relies on non-government sources - including donations from members of the public - for a substantial part of its operating income. The Institute enjoys an international reputation for the high quality of its basic and applied research, providing postgraduate education, and on-the-job training in specialised laboratory techniques.
