Our Vision - Better Health, Better Lives: building communities free from the burden of disorders of the brain.
Objective
Our mission is to prevent, treat, cure and care for a broad range of neurological, mental health and addiction disorders. We achieve this through building effective networks of collaborative research.
These communities translate research outcomes into real-world solutions to improve the quality of life of those affected by those disorders.
Solution
The Medicine Neuroscience, Mental Health and Addiction research theme is made up of a network of internationally recognised researchers and clinicians. These experts lead the understanding and treatment of complex clinical conditions with physical, behavioural, mental and social dimensions across the lifespan.
Neuroscience, Mental Health and Addiction consists of four sub-themes and two priority areas.
Aboriginal Health & Wellbeing
Aboriginal Health and Wellbeing is a research priority at UNSW Medicine and spans each of the research themes. Our research capability in this area comprises local, national and international leaders in basic sciences, clinical, public and allied health, with proven expertise in driving top-quality clinical care, research and education.
Members of our team have collectively and individually led innovations and improvements across Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health research, education and practice. Our research provides opportunities to support better policy and practice through community, organisational and government networks.
