Mental Health

Mental health and wellbeing is woven throughout all of society — intersecting with employment, housing, education and justice. It cannot be approached in isolation.

We work in partnership with organisations, clinicians and people with lived experience to understand these complex relationships and respond to people's needs. Our research, co-design and systems mapping helps the sector create new perspectives and identify meaningful opportunities to act.

Our approach


Our approach deeply respects the diversity of mental health experiences in our communities and the intersections with other areas such as employment, housing, education and justice.

We bring our skills in research, co-design, systems mapping and prototyping to understand these complex relationships and support organisations to achieve better mental health outcomes for everyone.

What we do


We partner with organisations and people

We bring together organisations, clinicians, academics and people with lived experience. Our expertise in listening, sense-making, collaboration and visualisation helps build shared understanding, create new perspectives and identify lasting opportunities for change.


We apply deep experience within the mental health sector

Our knowledge of the sector means we bring mental health literacy, reflective practice and bespoke tools into every project. This experience allows us to work sensitively and effectively from day one.


We take a holistic approach to mental health

We contribute thought leadership, project learnings and practical tools to increase our impact beyond individual engagements. We actively bring mental health perspectives into our work across all sectors.

We pay our respects to the traditional custodians of the lands on which we live and work, and to the traditional custodians of the lands and waters which we may visit upon in our work. We acknowledge their elders past and present. Indigenous sovereignty has never been ceded. It always was, and always will be Aboriginal land.
