UNSW Programs
Improving Health Outcomes
UNSW’s world-leading medical researchers are addressing some of society’s most pressing health challenges. From eliminating infectious diseases to research into brain ageing, aggressive cancers and rising mental health issues, our researchers are a collaborative community of experts at the forefront of their respective disciplines.
The Dementia Momentum, Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing (CHeBA)
The challenges of dementia are enormous and confronting. New findings from epidemiological and clinical trials provide evidence that it is possible to delay the onset of dementia and support an argument for large-scale investment to prevent dementia. CHeBA's research aims to determine which risk and protective factors for Alzheimer's disease and other dementias are universal. The Dementia Momentum seeks to increase the dialogue with the community about this disease and invest in social change by advancing large-scale, big-data research being conducted at CHeBA.

Voice, Treaty, Truth
