Total amount

Orygen is proud and grateful to be chosen by best friends Melissa Leong and Leah Wilson as their charity partner for The Amazing Race.

As Leah explains on the program: "I'm the mother of two girls that have anorexia as well as complex mental health issues, and they’re [Orygen] doing some really amazing research on biomarkers and the brain to be able to detect anorexia before it heads down that path.”

Melissa added: "This is not a charity we've chosen lightly, this is one we've chosen with consideration and with tangible outcomes. They are world leaders in research into advancement in understanding the growing brain."

To continue pioneering innovative treatments for eating disorders to ensure young people get well and stay well, we need your help.

About Orygen

Lead research

Orygen's researchers are finding new and better ways to help people recover from all types of mental health challenges. From developing new approaches to suicide prevention, identifying alternatives to anti-depressants, finding better treatments for psychosis and schizophrenia and creating digital platforms which help young people recover quickly, our researchers are pioneering research in youth mental health. With your help, our researchers can dedicate every single day to discovering new treatments which directly improve outcomes for young people. 

Support young people

Every breakthrough only matters if it reaches young people. That’s why Orygen is focused on translating world-leading research into real-world care. We work with service providers, clinicians and communities to ensure evidence-based treatments are available where they’re needed most. Your donation helps bridge the gap between discovery and delivery, so young people can benefit from the very best in youth mental health research.

Advocate for change

When you fundraise for Orygen, you are supporting us to advocate nationally and globally for better outcomes for young people experiencing mental health difficulties. Every dollar you raise helps us continue our work in ensuring better mental health care is delivered everywhere. Now that's a revolution in mind.
