Let’s tackle some of the most urgent brain health challenges facing Australians today.

Dementia is now the leading cause of death in Australia. This is projected to triple by 2050.

Through world-leading expertise and cutting-edge research, NeuRA is translating discoveries made in the lab into real therapies and preventions for dementia, and other brain health challenges. 

Your support fuels Australian scientists working at the forefront of dementia, mental health and brain health research.

​​Brain health challenges are tough but​​​​ research powers solutions.

Two out of every five Australians are affected by a neurological disorder.

Dementia is now the leading cause of death in Australia, overtaking
heart disease.

Through research we now know that 45% of dementia cases can be prevented.

NeuRA’s researchers have been working to tackle brain health challenges for over 30 years.

We’ve seen significant achievements and members of our team are global experts in many areas.

Some recent advancements include: 
Australia-first research into the existence of a brain microbiome, with potential ramifications for the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases like dementia.
Establishing a link between the immune system and brain health in people with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, potentially leading to personalised, more effective treatments.
Identified changes in blood vessels in the brain for people with Parkinson’s disease, giving hope of new treatment options for what is the second most common neurological disease in Australia.
Together, we can drive discoveries that help protect memory, movement and mental wellbeing across a lifetime.

Your donation ensures the diseases of today will no longer be the diseases of tomorrow

Emma Tinkler's life changed at 33 with a Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis. Ten years later, early-onset Parkinson's worsened her symptoms.

Thanks to effective medication, Emma went from using a mobility scooter to walking her daughters to school, celebrating each step.

During Melissa's pregnancy with Mitchell, an ultrasound indicated a potential abnormality, prompting DNA sequencing. Pathologists discovered a rare genetic condition that required immediate treatment at birth.

After ongoing care, Mitchell is now thriving and meeting all developmental milestones.

Lizzi Mallett was a teenager when her father was diagnosed with motor neurone disease and frontotemporal dementia, and later passed away at just 58.

Through NeuRA’s research, her family discovered a genetic link to these conditions; knowledge that is helping change the future for generations to come.
