About Us

We believe in making effective mental health treatment available anytime, anywhere — backed by science, delivered with compassion

Who we are

THIS WAY UP is a team of clinicians, researchers, and web technicians led by eminent psychiatrist, Dr Mike Millard.

We are one of three departments of the Clinical Research Unit for Anxiety and Depression (CRUfAD). CRUfAD is a joint facility of St Vincent’s Hospital and the University of New South Wales (UNSW) established in 1964 by Emeritus Professor Gavin Andrews to reduce the impact of anxiety and depressive disorders for Australians.

Our Home

THIS WAY UP and CRUfAD are proudly based at St Vincent’s Hospital, Sydney.

Our three integrated services form a complete pathway from innovation to care. The Virtual Clinic conducts trials for internet-based treatments that, once validated, are delivered here at THIS WAY UP, our non-profit digital service providing clinically-proven programs nationwide Australian Government support.
