The Australian Centre for Radiofrequency Bioeffects Research (ACRBR) is committed to building a better understanding of the biological and possible health effects of human exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF). The Centre implements a well-directed multidisciplinary research program drawing on the extensive skills, knowledge and experience of scientists from a number of Australian research institutions as well as overseas affiliates.

The ACRBR takes a lead role in promoting collaboration between researchers, training a new generation of scientists and educating the general public in this field relevant to all. It seeks to share its independent knowledge and expertise through public engagement and by actively contributing to the development of relevant safety standards and government policy.

The ACRBR is actively involved in educational programs at undergraduate level, postgraduate level, professional courses, conferences, workshops and public presentations in relevant areas.

The ACRBR opened for operation in January 2004 following a successful competitive grant process administered by the National Health and Medical Research Council, Australia. The grant provides a total of $2.5M over a 5-year period. The Centre name has since been promoted internationally, academic and industry collaborations were established broadly and student and research recruitment was established.
