The Child Behaviour Research Clinic is currently funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) and the Australian Research Council (ARC) for specific research questions relating to community health and treatment innovation.

The following projects are listed as expansions on current research that are not funded by any government body. We have access to the largest and most representative clinical sample of children and adolescents in Australia and these projects would enhance our current methodologies and understanding of the biological factors underlying pervasive mental health issues, leading to more innovative treatment and prevention strategies within the community.

eye-tracker-module
Establishing innovative research facilities that enable us to track eye gaze and brain activity of children displaying serious deficits with emotion recognition and empathy.
hormone-treatment-module
Support rural families by enabling access to innovative treatment trials investigating the use of oxytocin as an adjunctive early intervention for individuals within the ASD.
chair-module
Building capacity in research and training through the establishment of specialist post-doc or professorial positions in molecular genetics, bioinformatics and child mental health.
genome-module
Development one of the most comprehensive genetic databases in which genetic profiles could be tested against the child’s diagnosis, family environmental factors, and neurobehavioural functioning.
