As Chancellor of the University of New South Wales, I am particularly proud of the calibre of our 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 our University, driving our impact and clinical translation.

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.
