about us

Beyond Blue’s vision is that all people in Australia achieve their best possible mental health. Our mission is to work with the community to improve mental health and prevent suicide. We aim to achieve this by:

Beyond Blue’s values are Collaboration, Respect, Enthusiasm, Excellence, Innovation and Integrity.

In 2020 Beyond Blue, with delivery partners headspace, Early Childhood Australia and Emerging Minds, established a bushfire response program for early learning services and schools affected by the 2019 – 2020 bushfires. The Be You Bushfire Response Program builds the capacity of educators in early learning services and schools to support disaster recovery and resilience for their learning communities. The BRP program works in close alignment with key state government and service providers and other stakeholders in bushfire affected areas to identify needs and opportunities for collaboration, promote communication and a coordinated approach to supporting disaster recovery.
