What is the BEEhive?

The Brain and Enriched Environment Lab: BEEhive is a research network focused on understanding how the brain interacts with its environment following trauma. We work closely with clinicians and those with lived neurotrauma experience to develop creative, environment-centred rehabilitation approaches.



Where and Who?

A collaboration between The Hopkins Centre at Griffith University and the Gold Coast Hospital’s Neurosciences Rehabilitation Unit, BEEhive is situated within the Gold Coast Health and Knowledge Precinct.


Our multidisciplinary team includes cognitive neuroscientists, neuropsychologists, social scientists, designers, architects, engineers, medical specialists, allied health professionals, and citizen scientists. Together, we partner with industry, government, community, and private organisations to create spaces where people can truly thrive.



Our Mission
Guided by collaboration, personalisation, and sustainable translation, we aim to enhance rehabilitation environments through three key areas:

  • Tech: Leveraging technological advancements.
  • Rec: Enhancing recreational opportunities.
  • Direct: Optimising immediate physical environments.



Our Approach

Our seven-stage research process ensures we deliver practical, personalised, and impactful solutions that make a difference.
