At Mind Australia, we put people first. That means seeing the person, not a diagnosis or label, and taking time to understand what matters to them. We work alongside people during tough times. We know living with mental health challenges isn’t easy, so we make space, listen and seek to understand where people have been, where they are now and where they want to be. This helps us provide the right support while continuing to learn what works for people, families and communities. We are one of Australia’s largest providers of community-managed psychosocial services, offering residential, mobile outreach, centre-based and online support. Alongside One Door Mental Health and The Haven Foundation, we provide individualised, evidence-based and recovery-focused support to more than 25,000 people each year. We’ve supported people, and their families, friends, carers and supporters, for nearly 50 years. Some of our most important lessons have come not from textbooks, but from people who have walked these paths themselves. This lived experience continues to shape everything we do. We value lived experience and lived expertise. Many people across our workforce draw on their own experiences of mental health challenges, recovery and supporting others to improve services, influence the sector and drive change. We do this in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations and communities, and alongside clinical care providers, because working together leads to better outcomes.

LEADING THE REVOLUTION IN YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH We believe that all young people deserve to grow into adulthood with optimal mental health. Everything we do is focused on that outcome. Our goal? To see young people with mental ill-health getting well and staying well. Now that’s a revolution in mind. HISTORY Since 1984 Orygen has never stopped caring and advocating for young people with mental ill health, and for their families. What started as a focus on early psychosis intervention and care expanded to cover mood, personality and anxiety disorders, and major depression. We were instrumental in driving the national reform that became headspace . CLINICAL CARE Most mental health disorders begin between the early teens to the mid-20s. One in five young people will have experienced a depressive episode by the time they turn 18. We believe in treating early and focusing on recovery. Pioneering reform to deliver real-world practical solutions. Never settling for anything less than what young people need and deserve.
