One in five Australians will experience a mental illness every year. Effective prevention and intervention will only happen if disorders are properly understood.

High quality research can make a real difference, but funding is badly lacking. In Australia, mental health research only receives around three per cent of the overall funding for research and development in health.

AFFIRM is determined to change that.

Through generous donations, the foundation supports innovative research of the highest professional and ethical standards. Together, we can make a difference.
