About us
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 through innovations in science, education, clinical service, public policy and knowledge translation. Our areas of strength include suicide prevention, digital mental health, workplace mental health, new treatments, and prevention in young people. Our unique translational approach allows us to quickly turn our world-class scientific findings into clinical services, educational programs and e-health products that improve the lives of people with mental illness. We join the dots, connecting research answers, expert knowledge and the voices of lived experience to deliver solutions that work across the health care system for patients and practitioners alike. Our partnerships with people with lived experience, federal, state, and local governments, communities, schools, workplaces, philanthropists, health services, clinicians, and others in the mental health sector enables us to create real-world change.

Joining forces with Australia’s leading mental health organisations, we champion an evidence-driven approach to online safety. At the forefront of our mission is understanding and catering to the diverse needs and experiences of today's youth. Social media often serves as their front door to the mental health system. Shutting this door on young people will cut them off from a free and accessible form of support – available without an appointment in an overstretched system.
