As Emeritus Chancellor of the University of New South Wales, I am particularly proud of the calibre of its affiliated medical research institutes.

NeuRA plays a key role on our campus and is integral to the success of our new 10 year strategy Progress for All, particularly as brain health has emerged as a key area of research and societal need.

I look forward to celebrating the growing partnerships of NeuRA across the University, driving our impact and clinical translation.

Our relationship with NeuRA has helped deliver research in brain health, neurodegeneration, mental health and dementia that improves patient care, and that is the ultimate measure of its value.

As foundation partners, we are pleased to formalise our first partnership agreement with NeuRA.

Moving forward together, in close partnership with NeuRA, we look forward to driving clinical and research outcomes through our collaborations as part of the Randwick Health & Innovation Precinct.

Together, we are positioning Australia at the forefront of brain research and shaping the future of health for our communities.

UNSW and NeuRA have a long history of delivering research that changes lives — from advances in dementia and mental health to the development of novel diagnostics and new treatment approaches.

As we enter a new decade of collaboration under our 2026 Affiliation Agreement, we are strengthening a partnership built on world‑leading expertise and a shared commitment to translating discovery into real‑world impact.
