At the Centre for Humanitarian Leadership, researchers and students are working towards addressing some of humanity’s biggest challenges. Through teaching, research, policy development and innovation for the humanitarian sector the Centre strives to better serve communities affected by crisis with more responsive, efficient and relevant actions. The Centre aims to transform the way the humanitarian workforce is led, how humanitarian organisations operate, and challenging current approaches to humanitarian crisis response. The Centre is a collaboration between Deakin and Save the Children Australia.

Deakin's Centee for Humanitarian Leadership Offers a programme and inidividual courses that are very well aligned with the NOHA programme aims and set up. The Centre is built on a close collaboration between academia and humanitarian organisations to provide highly relevant higher education. In addition, Deakin adds special competence about the south Asian and Oceanian humanitarian context.
