Welcome

Professor Jane Pirkis, Centre for Mental Health and Community Wellbeing Director

The Centre for Mental Health and Community Wellbeing aims to improve mental health and mitigate the impact of mental illness at a population level. It does this through high quality, collaborative, interdisciplinary research, academic teaching, professional and community education, and mental health system development.

The Centre contributes to evidence-informed mental health policy and practice in Australia and internationally through the work of its five units:

The Centre’s five units are involved in active and productive collaborations within the University and beyond. These relationships range from not-for-profit agencies like Mind Australia through to intergovernmental organisations such as the World Health Organization, and enable us to translate our research into policy and practice.
