Corporate Partnership

The Institute has a strong history of corporate support – click here to see our existing partners.

Australian businesses are becoming more aware of the impact of mental illness on the workplace. By partnering with the Schizophrenia Research Institute, our corporate partners get the opportunity to educate their staff on warning signs and what to do if a colleague may have a mental illness.

"Ramsay Health Care has been an active supporter of the Schizophrenia Research Institute since 2005. As Australia’s largest provider of private hospital mental health services, we see every day the impact that schizophrenia can have on sufferers, their families and the community at large. We support the valuable role that the Schizophrenia Research Institute plays in undertaking research into this illness and to this end we are a long term partner. We have donated over $250,000 over the past 5 years towards the Institute and the development of the Australian Schizophrenia Research Bank – the largest brain research project in Australia. We hope that this research will go some way towards making a difference."
