Anthony Harris has had a long-term interest in severe mental illness. This led him into his training as a psychiatrist and later formed the basis of his research. He has been active in the NGO sphere since 1996 when he joined what was then the board of the Schizophrenia Fellowship of NSW motivated by the need to advocate for better services in mental health. Later as chair he helped guide the organisation first into its incorporation and then into its merger with Mind Australia.
