Shared thinking, better care
Mindgardens is the first translational research centre in Australia to focus exclusively on disorders that involve the brain, emotions, nervous system and thinking processes.
Building on the expertise of our Members and partners, we translate new insights rapidly into everyday practice, integrating patient health care with research and education to reshape the understanding, prevention, treatment and care of mental health, drug and alcohol and neurological disorders.
