Vision and mission
Many Australians are affected by anxiety, depression or related conditions — personally or through those close to them. Beyond Blue is a national, independent, not-for-profit organisation that works to reduce the stigma of mental health, raise awareness, and ensure people can access the right support. Through government and community partnerships, they empower individuals with the tools, resources and understanding they need to support mental wellbeing and recovery, and to foster inclusive, connected communities.
How Beyond Blue can help
Beyond Blue collaborates with health services, schools, workplaces, universities, media, and community groups to deliver evidence-informed mental health support. They also partner with people who have lived experience of mental health challenges to co-design tools, resources and messaging that make help-seeking easier. Their strength lies in combining community insight, clinical evidence, and digital innovation to ensure timely access to information and services that support mental wellbeing and reduce the risk of crisis.
