Science. Compassion. Action.
1 in 5 of us will experience symptoms of mental illness in any given year. In Australia that's around 5 million people. And roughly 60% of these people won't seek help.
As the only medical research institute in Australia to investigate mental health across the lifespan, our aim is to create a mentally healthier world for everyone.
We do this through ‘translational' research. Integrating our research studies, education programs, digital tools and apps, clinical services, and public resources to discover new solutions, foster connections and create real-world change.
Our partnerships with people with lived experience, federal, state and local governments, communities, schools, corporate Australia and others in the mental health sector enables us to drive evidence-informed change in mental health where it's needed most.

Why us
Providing expert advice and analysis to help shape a better future for mental health and suicide prevention.
The work of policy and advocacy is to provide independent and expert advice and analysis to a range of governments and stakeholders, to inform and influence national, state and territory policies relating to mental health and suicide prevention.
We believe governments play a significant role in achieving positive mental health outcomes. Through the evidence produced by our research, we advocate for policies, programs and interventions that will improve mental health outcomes for all Australians in the form of evidence briefings, policy proposals, submissions, articles, and position statements.
* Our key policy priorities include:
* Prevention of mental illness and suicide
* Digital mental health services
* Mental health for young people
* Workplace mental health
* Mental health system reform
