A new national collaboration to transform the way mental health treatment is developed and tested will be led by Deakin University and partners including The University of Western Australia, with $12 million support from the Federal Government’s Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF).
The Mental Health Australia General Clinical Trial Network (MAGNET) will start as a five-year project that will be funded through the MRFF’s Million Minds Mission, as recently announced in the Federal Budget.
Professor Sean Hood, Head of UWA Medical School’s Psychiatry Division, and Osvaldo Almeida, Professor in Psychiatry, also from the UWA Medical School, are among 50 chief investigators involved in the project.

Serena Williams has thrown her support behind Australian mental health company Black Dog Institute after praising her friend Meghan Markle for speaking out about her own suicidal thoughts.
The tennis legend vowed to donate all proceeds of her pop-up campaign with US online marketplace Poshmark to the Aussie institute. I m incredibly proud to be able to give back to the Black Dog Institute and raise awareness for the work the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Lived Experience Centre is doing to define and better understand the lived experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, Williams said in a statement.
Sporting superstar Serena Williams has thrown her support behind an Aboriginal mental health initiative.
Williams, 39, surprised the Black Dog Institute by offering to donate proceeds from the online sale of some of her personal wardrobe, including tennis memorabilia and sneakers she wore at the US Open. This is a great chance for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people everywhere to know that she is supporting us, and what we re trying to do, says Leilani Darwin, a Quandamooka woman, and Director of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Strategy at the Black Dog Institute.
The money raised will go to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Lived Experience Centre, an arm of the organisation that runs culturally informed programs and services for First Nations People.
