Why we are different
One in Five is changing the face of mental illness, funding medical research into finding a cure for mental illnesses including schizophrenia, bi-polar and depression to turn One into None. Since 2003, we have raised over $2 million dollars with 90% of all funds raised going directly to either Monash Health or the Florey Institute.

Matt’s tragic yet all too common story inspired a group of his friends and family to come together and address one of Australia’s biggest health issues – mental illness.
