The concern for human security in its broadest definition has a long history at La Trobe University and the Institute for Human Security seeks to enable, enhance and co-ordinate discussion, research, and concrete policy advice from university staff and students across the university for dissemination in academia, the policy sector and to the general public.

The La Trobe University Institute for Human Security is a collaborative, interdisciplinary and University-wide research facility, centred in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, which builds on existing research strength in the university. Its activities will promote the broad aims inherent in the UN definition.

Membership is open to all academic staff whose research fits under the rubric of human security, embracing a variety of non-traditional areas of security. The Institute builds on strengths in international health; food security; new threats to global security; good governance; population movements etc. and works closely with other areas in the University around sustainability and climate change.
