About us
Transforming mental health through nutrition
Our Nutritional Psychiatry research initiatives aim to identify nutrition-based approaches to prevent and treat mental disorders that may improve brain and mental health, both in Australia and globally. We research nutrition-based approaches to prevent and treat mental and brain disorders.
Mental disorders are one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, while diet is now a proven determinant of mental and brain health. We are the only centre in the world dedicated to researching Nutritional Psychiatry, the groundbreaking field that explores the food-mood-brain connection.
Our work has already had a global impact, influencing clinical guidelines, high-level policy, the media and public knowledge.
