We invite you to join us for a thought-provoking talk about the growing role of artificial intelligence in mental health care across Australia. 

Join Dr Frank Iorfino, Senior Research Fellow at the University of Sydney’s Brain and Mind Centre a leading voice in how AI is transforming mental health care—particularly for young people.

With more Australians turning to AI tools for mental health support and guidance, this timely session will explore how technology is reshaping the way care is accessed and delivered.

Dr Iorfino will unpack both the opportunities and challenges of AI in mental health—from predictive models and personalised digital therapies to the ethical questions they raise.
