ACFS aims to boost the global credentials of Australias financial industry; bridge the gap between academia, government and industry; and support Australia as an international centre for finance practice, research and education. ACFS has developed a strong reputation as an independent voice on industry-relevant matters. It contributes to public debate on financial sector issues; conducts detailed, expert analysis; delivers unbiased contracted research; hosts conferences, seminars, boardroom briefings and roundtables; and facilitates three Research Program Committees that link senior industry and academic leaders in the fields of banking, funds management and insurance. ACFS was formerly a consortium of Monash University, RMIT University and Finsia (Financial Services Institute of Australasia). Prior to 2010, it was known as the Melbourne Centre for Financial Studies (MCFS). MCFS was launched in 2005 with seed funding from the Victorian government.

The Australian Centre for Heart Health, (formerly the Heart Research Centre) conducts research into the prevention and management of chronic diseases including cardiovascular diease, their social, psychological and behavioural aspects. Findings are used to develop, implement and evaluate interventions to improve the quality of life of patients, families and communities and to encourage healthy behaviours in order to reduce premature disability and death from cardiovascular disease. Results of clinical studies aim to improve the delivery of health services for cardiac patients and their families. Applied research and the training of practitioners in the field are also important aspects of the Centre’s work.

The Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Robotic Vision will allow robots to see, to understand their environment using the sense of vision. This is the missing capability that currently prevents robots from performing useful tasks in the complex, unstructured and dynamically changing environments in which we live and work. Robots with visual perception – that can see, learn and respond as humans do – are the key enabling technologies for an array of emerging applications in robotics and automation. The Centre has four research objectives: • Robust Vision will develop new sensing technologies and robust algorithms that allow robots to use visual perception in all viewing conditions: night and day, rain or shine, summer or winter, fast moving or static. • Vision and Action will create new theory and methods for using image data for control of robotic systems that navigate through space, grasp objects, interact with humans and use motion to assist in seeing. • Semantic Vision will produce novel learning algorithms that can both detect and recognise a large, and potentially ever increasing, number of object classes from robotically acquired images, with increasing reliability over time • Algorithms and Architectures will create novel technologies and techniques to ensure that the algorithms developed across the themes can be run in real-time on robotic systems deployed in large-scale real-world applications. The Centre has been funded for $25.6M over 7 years, of which $19.0M is from the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence program. The Centre comprises 13 chief investigators and 6 partner investigators from 10 organisations spanning robotics and computer vision across the globe. The Centre's Director is Professor Peter Corke, Queensland University of Technology.
