About Brainwaves

Melbourne’s drive-time radio show giving voice to people with mental illness.

Challenging the negative stereotypes of people with a mental illness. This program actively engages those living with a mental illness as researchers, interviewers, performers and program designers while promoting community mental health awareness.

Produced and presented by people with lived experience of mental illness, Brainwaves brings you interesting guests, heart-warming stories, great information and some laughs as well. Brought to you by 3CR radical radio and Wellways Australia.

In 2012, Brainwaves won the Excellence in Training Award by the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia. The Brainwaves team also won the Community Engagement award in the 2014 3CR Radio Awards.
