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:

  • Being a trusted source of information, advice and support
  • Working together to prevent suicide.

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

The Services and Supports Group at Beyond Blue delivers effective early intervention, treatment and recovery-focused mental health and suicide prevention supports and services, so people can receive help early and recover quickly to ensure their best possible mental health.

The Way Back Support Service provides non-clinical, personalised, assertive aftercare and psychosocial support in the community for people up to three months following their discharge from hospital after a suicide attempt or suicidal crisis. The Way Back Support Service aims to contribute to a reduction in the rate, severity, and duration of a person’s suicidality and ultimately to the prevention of death by suicide.

Beyond Blue provides national support and oversees the implementation and ongoing operations of The Way Back Support Service in Primary Health Network regions across Australia. By June 2022, there will be up to 38 funded sites nationally.
