Launching 2026
Infant Mental Health Research Alliance

Connecting knowledge for a baby's first years.

IMHRA brings research, practice, policy and community knowledge together to help people find clearer answers and take informed action for babies, young children and their families.

We are building the Infant Mental Health Knowledge Hub around the questions people are already trying to answer — and we want to hear yours.

Why IMHRA exists

IMHRA connects research, practice, policy and community knowledge to improve how we understand and support infant mental health. We identify the questions that matter, bring together what is known, and help turn knowledge into clearer guidance, stronger connections and practical action.

We are building the Hub around the questions people are already trying to answer.

  • Find the gaps

    Notice where research, practice, policy and community knowledge are not yet joining up.

  • Surface the questions

    Learn what families, practitioners, organisations and decision-makers most need help answering.

  • Support action

    Identify where clearer evidence, practical guidance or stronger connections could help people move forward.

What do you need to know or do?

Your response will help IMHRA decide which questions to investigate, which knowledge to bring together and which resources or connections would be most useful.

What happens to what you share

Choose one perspective, or select ‘another or more than one perspective’ if you would like to answer across several.

What happens to what you share

We will review responses to identify recurring questions, gaps and opportunities for action. They will help shape the Hub's priorities, evidence work and future collaborations. We will not publish your name or words without asking you first.

Privacy

You can share your question anonymously. If you choose to provide your name and contact details, IMHRA will use them only to follow up about your response. This will not subscribe you to our newsletter.

Responses are collected through Tally and stored in Notion. Access is limited to authorised members of the IMHRA team. We use responses to identify recurring questions, knowledge gaps and opportunities for action, and to shape IMHRA's priorities, resources and collaborations.

We will not publish your name or quote your words without asking your permission. Responses will be retained for six months, after which identifiable information will be securely deleted or removed. To ask about, access, correct or withdraw information you have provided, email hello@imhra.com.au.
