In October 2016 we will mark the five-year anniversary the opening of our magnificent purpose-built facilities in Heidelberg and Parkville. The Florey gratefully acknowledges the support of the Ian Potter Foundation and the Myer Foundation, philanthropists, donors, the Commonwealth Government and the State Government of Victoria for their strong support. Our new facilities provide a first class environment for the country’s largest neuroscientific workforce.

We are attracting visiting scientists from around the world who are drawn to the expertise, new equipment, buildings and energy generated by this superb environment. Our educational and clinical programs ensure our laboratory and clinical research is translated to patients. State-of-the-art imaging facilities, including a powerful 7-Tesla MRI, ensure we recruit people for large clinical trials, influencing global health through population studies.

The buildings are five-green-star energy rated, ensuring we minimise ongoing costs and lighten our environmental footprint. Florey scientists continue to appreciate the passionate support offered by funders to help them in their quest to improve lives through brain research.
