About the Brain Foundation

The Brain Foundation is a registered charity established in 1970 by neurologists and neurosurgeons. We are dedicated to funding the highest quality Australian research into neurological disorders, diseases, and injuries, with the ultimate goal of advancing diagnoses, treatments, and patient outcomes.

Our work involves:

• Our annual grants program. Read more about our funding process here.
• Raising awareness about the prevalence and impact of brain disorders, diseases & injuries.
• Educating patients & clinicians through webinar events and medically reviewed articles.
• Community support & advocacy (for migraine and headache particularly).
• Keeping our supporters up to date on the latest medical news through our newsletters & social media.

Our research grants receive no government funding, relying on the generosity of individuals, corporate donors and bequests. Your support will make a difference – now and for generations to come.
