The Neuropsychology Research Unit is based at the UQ Neuropsychology Research Clinic (UQNRC), which is a purpose-built research facility that opened in September 2017. The vision of Professor Gail Robinson was to create a hub where students, researchers and individuals with brain disorders come together for clinical, training and research purposes. The UQNRC facilities comprise three clinic testing rooms, one with a brain physiology laboratory, and working spaces for staff and students. The UQNRC is located in a residential house on the UQ St Lucia campus, with easy access and parking, adjacent to other psychology and brain-focused facilities including the Queensland Brain Institute and the Centre for Advanced Imaging.
