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.
We’re big believers in everyone having the opportunity to live a meaningful life. We support people to achieve mental health and wellbeing outcomes that matter to them.
For some people, this means having a stronger sense of self. For others, it may mean nurturing relationships or building the confidence to tackle tomorrow.
We provide free services across Australia to support mental health and wellbeing, housing and homelessness, and suicide prevention. We support 38,000 people each year across 34 First Nations lands.
Our approach is based on evidence: what people tell us helps and has been proven to work. We adjust and improve our approach to make sure we’re doing the very best we can for others.
We value lived and living experience. We learn from people’s personal experiences of mental health challenges, adversity and interactions with support services. We use what we learn to design and influence our programs and services.
As one of Australia’s largest providers of mental health and wellbeing services, we advocate for system change to improve lives.
We aim to be an innovative and inclusive employer of choice, leading the sector by bringing together a diverse, compassionate and talented workforce. Our shared purpose is to meaningfully support mental health and wellbeing for individuals and communities. We foster a safe, supportive and flexible working environment. Employee wellbeing is a priority. We offer opportunities for personal and professional growth while encouraging a healthy work-life balance. We embrace diversity and value the unique experiences and perspectives of each person. We’re committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected and empowered to make a real difference.

We promote good mental health. We create change to protect everyone’s mental health and improve the lives of individuals, families and communities affected by anxiety, depression and suicide.
Mental health conditions don’t discriminate, and neither do we. Our programs and initiatives support people at all stages of life, wherever they live, work, study and play.
Beyond Blue has four main goals that guide everything we do, and we use our community heart and business head to achieve these. Our goals help us measure the impact of our work, ensuring our programs and initiatives remain focused on achieving our vision and mission.
Our goals are to:
1. reduce the impact of anxiety, depression and suicide by supporting people to protect their mental health and to recover when they are unwell
2. reduce people’s experiences of stigma and discrimination
3. improve people’s opportunities to get effective support and services at the right time
4. use best business practices to deliver integrated, evidence-based and cost-effective initiatives through our people and resources.
