Centre for Mental Health and Community Wellbeing

The Centre for Mental Health and Community Wellbeing aims to promote optimum mental health and wellbeing in communities and populations, with a particular emphasis on people at risk of, experiencing, or impacted by suicide, mental ill-health, and adversity. It achieves this through high-quality, interdisciplinary, co-developed research, academic teaching, and professional and community education.

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.
