HER Centre

At HER Centre Australia, our mission is to improve the lives of young girls and women living with mental ill-health. We aim to do this by developing innovative treatments and new services, underpinned by our world-class clinical research.

Our Health, Education and Research work is conducted collaboratively, co-designed and conducted by women with lived experience of mental ill-health as part of our multidisciplinary team. The education component of HER Centre Australia involves disseminating accurate and up-to-date information and delivering workshops, events and online courses for people with lived experience, their families, the general community, and mental health professionals.

HER Centre Australia teams have set up innovative clinical services for women including the Monash Alfred Women’s Mental Health Clinic and Australia’s first mental health hospital for women as part of Cabrini Health.

The reputation of HER Centre Australia has been fostered by the outstanding leadership of the Centre Director and founder, Professor Jayashri Kulkarni AM, its patient-centred research and clinical focus, and its unique collaborative structure. This dynamic and highly integrated research and clinical environment fosters innovative collaborations between leading clinicians and researchers from a range of disciplines including psychiatry, neuroscience, endocrinology, psychology and nursing.
