A place for empowering people

We enable ingenuity and visionary thinking to reveal the inner workings of the brain.

The Florey’s staff and students are the bedrock of our research and success and have a strong commitment to excellence and integrity. We have wonderful people who demonstrate enormous collective strength, and as a cohesive and connected organisation we are greater than the sum of our individual parts. We have an unwavering commitment to diversity and inclusion and a desire to provide a place of employment with tremendous opportunity for everyone.

In 2020, the Florey supported our staff and students to expand their skillsets by providing mentoring, manager training, whistleblower training and career development pathways. We created and rolled out online resources to further learning in areas of scientific knowledge and broader skill development, including a series of events that were designed to assist our researchers to translate their pioneering research into products and services.
