Research

In 2009, the Perinatal and Women’s Mental Health Unit was established through a partnership with St John of God Health Care and the University of New South Wales.
Based at the Burwood hospital and led by Professor Marie-Paule Austin, the unit is the first of its kind in Australia to combine both pre-natal and women’s mental health.
Professor Austin and her team will conduct research into anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and other emotional health issues experienced by mothers during pregnancy and after birth.
