$30 million boost to dementia research

SW is a leader in brain sciences. The new Precinct will significantly enhance our research efforts through the combined activities of our Faculty of Medicine, POWMRI, the Prince of Wales Hospital and the Black Dog Institute. I believe it will provide opportunities for major steps forward in the area of neuroscience." The Executive Director of the Black Dog Institute, Professor Gordon Parker, said this an exciting opportunity for POWMRI and the Black Dog Institute to also advance their collaborative research studies into mood disorders and the dementing conditions, particularly in pursing genetic and other biological causes.

MEDIA RELEASE

"The planned integration of the research facilities of POWMRI, Black Dog Institute, UNSW and the Area Health Service forms part of the Areas Masterplan for the development of all facets of the Randwick Hospitals Campus," said Chief Executive of the South Eastern Sydney Illawarra Health Service, Professor Debora Picone. "SESIAHS fully endorses the proposed development and remains committed to working closely with the POW Medical Research Institute to bring this world-class project to fruition."

"Working with Cox-Richardson Architects and Planners and the South East Sydney and Illawarra Area Health Service, we have developed plans for a new $69.1 million building," said Professor Schofield. "The Neuroscience Research Precinct will provide 11,000 m2 of research capacity and double the space of the existing research facility projecting it into international prominence in the research arena." Projections in Treasurer Peter Costello's Intergenerational Report issued last month show that over the next 40 years:

  • the population will continue to increase in size but with a higher proportion of older people;
  • economic growth per person will slow as the proportion of the population of traditional working age falls; and
  • substantial fiscal pressures will emerge
