This event is celebrating the re-opening of the Henderson Conference Room and the renovation of the centre

The Centre for Mental Health Research is located in one of the buildings of the first Canberra Community Hospital (CCH), opened in 1914.

Our block at 63 Eggleston Road was completed in 1928 and was used as the isolation ward and the Canberra Nursery School. The CMHR originates from the "NHMRC Social Psychiatry Research Unit (SPRU)", which was sited at 3 Liversidge Street from January 1975 until 1998; being the first academic centre on community mental health research in Australia.
