Research Our Research Our Research Cairnmillar Institute supports a vibrant community of academics and clinicians conducting research in diverse areas of Psychology. We aspire to be leaders in clinical and ‘translational’ research: taking basic psychological theory and empirical findings, and turning them into evaluated and applied outcomes for the benefit of the community. We invite queries to collaborate and contribute to our research programs and funding. Our staff and students conduct research broadly in such areas as child and adolescent development, ageing, resilience and wellbeing, the understanding and treatment of clinical disorders, counselling, professional psychology, community health and other areas.
