Black Dog Institute
The only medical research institute in Australia to investigate mental health across the lifespan. Enabling mentally healthier lives through innovations in science, medicine, education, 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.
The Institute is proud to be a trusted partner of government, universities, health services, clinicians, industry, workplaces, schools and philanthropists across the country
Born from science - Our research identifies the scientific foundations on which we can develop practical programs that work in the real world.
Driven by compassion - We listen and learn from those with first-hand experience of mental illness, and to our partners and peers, to guide and inform everything we do.
Results in action - By connecting the dots, what starts in research results in action, programs and tools that can reduce suicide rates across communities, improve symptoms for individuals, prevent problems before they start and help people to live their best possible life.
Please note that the Black Dog Institute is not a crisis centre and cannot provide crisis support.
