At the Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI), we're dedicated to enhancing the use of antibiotics for every child. Our research focuses on ensuring the right choice, dose, timing, person, method, and location to keep your family safe.
Our mission
We aim to revolutionise paediatric healthcare by:
- Choosing the right antibiotic: Identifying the most effective antibiotic for each infection.

- Timing it right: Administering antibiotics at the optimal time for maximum benefit.
- Personalising treatment: Tailoring antibiotic use to individual needs.
- Using the right method: Delivering antibiotics in the most effective way.
- Ensuring the right place: Providing treatment in the best possible setting.
