Psychosis Australia brings people with lived and living experience, families and carers, researchers, clinicians, community organisations and policymakers together to improve the lives of people affected by psychosis. Our defining contribution is to connect these perspectives so that research addresses the questions people need answered and informs better policy, treatment and support.

Established in 2010 through a partnership between researchers and the consumer and carer movement, Psychosis Australia builds on the work of the Australian Psychosis Research Network and the Australasian Schizophrenia Conference. Our work encompasses schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and related psychotic conditions.
