Chancellor of UNSW

The South Eastern Sydney Local Health District is proud to be a foundation partner of NeuRA. Through its clinical and research expertise in neurodegeneration, dementia and mental health, we have forged many partnerships together bringing research from the benchtop to the bedside.

Looking to the future, we are keen to promote the strengths and research excellence of NeuRA as we lead the Randwick Health & Innovation Precinct response to dementia.

Our joint vision is that the Precinct will be at the forefront of the development and implementation of new models of care required to optimise the opportunity presented by the emergence of new therapies for Alzheimer’s disease, neurodegeneration, and mental health.
