At Matterworks, we are reimagining how health information is created, shared and understood
We are experts in digital communications, translating important health and research information into accessible content designed to engage, empower and inform.
We work with some of Australia's leading research institutes, industry bodies, and government organisations to bridge the gap between health research and real-world understanding.
With expertise in research, planning, and content creation, we specialise in creating proven health education programmes that connect with today’s audiences and drive impact through behaviour change.
At Matterworks, we handle every element of communications, content creation, and media distribution - from planning and research to strategy and production.
With a focus on driving behaviour change, we work in partnership with major organisations like the AFL and the ABC to turn complex health information into simple, impactful messages, through a mix of digital media channels including streaming video, social media, podcasts, and online learning platforms.
Our partnership with global leading researchers and institutes provides access to world-leading knowledge and expertise.

We craft campaigns and programs that reflect the lived experiences of diverse audiences of all backgrounds, and all ages. We specialise in developing impactful communications programs for young audiences.
Turning research into action
We partner with Australia’s leading health institutes and educators to transform evidence into messages people can understand and act on.
