For over 30 years, NeuRA has been Australia’s home of brain and nervous system research, dedicated to finding better ways to understand, diagnose, treat and prevent neurological disorders.

Our impact wouldn’t be possible without the support of everyday Australians who volunteer to participate in our research.

As a research participant, you play a critical role in helping us advance the treatment and understanding of neurological diseases and conditions, ultimately improving the lives of countless individuals, their families and carers.
