Turner Institute 
for Brain and Mental Health

One of Australia’s largest Institutes for brain and mental health thanks to the generosity of the late David Winston Turner, who has presented Monash University with Australia’s largest single gift to mental health.

Through our three key themes of Developing Well, Living Well and Ageing Well, we are responding to common community challenges to develop resilient brains, promote brain healthy lifestyles, and maximise cognitive capabilities.

We're part of the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences.
