1 in 5 of us will experience symptoms of mental illness in any given year. In Australia that’s around 5 million people. And more than half of these people won’t seek help.

We all know mental health in Australia needs to be better. And that’s our goal at Black Dog Institute. As a global leader in mental health research and the only Medical Research Institute in Australia to investigate mental health from childhood through the later stages of life, we know there is no one-size-fits-all solution to the challenges we’re facing together.

Our research findings give us hope for the future. And by rapidly translating our research into evidence-based programs, services, and products, that hope can become reality. We want the best information we have available to be in the hands of the people who need it. To assist them, their loved ones, their students, their workplaces, and their communities.

The Institute is proud to be a trusted partner of government, clinicians, First Nations leaders, industry, workplaces, schools and philanthropists across the country. We know that through hard work, continuous knowledge sharing, and being led by the evidence, we can help to provide better mental health for all Australians and transform the mental health system.
