Research
editIn 2009, the Perinatal and Women's Mental Health Unit was established through a partnership with St John of God Health Care and the University of New South Wales.[5] Based at the Burwood Hospital and led by Marie-Paule Austin, the unit is the first of its kind in Australia to combine prenatal care and women's mental health services. Austin and her team conduct research into anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and other emotional health issues experienced by mothers during pregnancy and after birth.[6]
