Anthologie wins two GOLD at the Australian Good Design Awards across policy and health
Anthologie has been awarded two Gold’s in the Australian Good Design Awards for their work with Impact Global Health: a policy framework that strengthens global health investment decisions, and NeuroHub: a digital-hub concept for those experiencing life with a Neurological condition.
• Gold – Policy Design: Evidence for Impact: A Policy Framework for Equitable Global Health Investment (with Impact Global Health)
• Gold – Concept Design: NeuroHub WA: Navigating Life with Neurological Conditions (with ECU Centre for Precision Health)
Amy Sutton, Founder & Managing Director of Anthologie, said: “These awards are a reflection of the trust and ambition of our partners. We’re so grateful to work alongside organisations like Impact Global Health, ECU Centre for Precision Health & Perron Institute who are tackling complex challenges that really matter. For us, this recognition validates the power of designing with people – and leading with impact.”
At the Australian Good Design Awards, Gold Winners represent the top projects in their category, recognised for outstanding design quality, innovation and impact. Gold projects are also contenders for Best in Class, announced at the ceremony.
Evidence for Impact – Policy Design
Evidence for Impact reframes neglected-disease R&D as a high-return public investment, packaging complex analysis into a clear narrative leaders can use. Anthologie supported strategic messaging, digital delivery and an immersive launch during World Health Assembly week in Geneva, with subsequent presentations in the UK and EU Parliaments to inform funding and policy dialogue. The work helps evidence travel from analysis to action.
Good Design Awards Jury comments: “Evidence for Impact is a policy framework designed to elevate investment in neglected disease R&D. Developed by Impact Global Health, with strategic design support from Anthologie, it reframes health research as a high-return investment helping global funders and policymakers act with clarity, urgency and confidence. This project truly sets a new benchmark for good design in this important category. Well done.”
Harriet Bell, Director of Communications, Impact Global Health, added: “This work gives decision-makers a clearer, more actionable case for investing in neglected diseases.”
NeuroHub WA — Concept Design
NeuroHub is a co-designed digital concept created with people living with neurological conditions, carers, clinicians, leading advocacy organisations and researchers. It proposes a single, trusted pathway to relevant information, services and peer support reducing stress and improving continuity of care.
NeuroHub is an investment-ready concept shaped with the neurological community. The award recognises the rigour of the design process and its potential for impact. The concept has 1,400+ community signatures and 21 letters of support from leading neurological advocacy organisations, and is prepared for a pilot with established partners.
Good Design Awards Jury comments: “NeuroHub WA is a world-first digital platform co-designed with people living with neurological conditions. Built to simplify complex care journeys, it connects individuals, families and service providers with personalised information, services and peer support, helping people navigate life with greater clarity, confidence and dignity, no matter where they are on their path. The Jury commends the designers behind this brilliant project – well done!”
“Co-designing NeuroHub with families navigating neurological conditions every day has given us a credible, investable solution that can truly improve their life journey,” said Dr Travis Cruickshank, ECU Centre for Precision Health.
