Who We Are
Creativity Australia is a national charity. Our mission is to build a happier, healthier and more inclusive nation. We bridge the gap between people experiencing disadvantage and those more fortunate through the neuro-scientific benefits of community singing. We build supportive networks that help people connect to brighter futures. Together, we can change the world one voice at a time!
What We Do
- We offer weekly community choirs and singing projects that bring singing back into everyday life
- We welcome all people, regardless of age, race, religion, disability or disadvantage
- We research and celebrate how the neuroscience of singing makes us happier, healthier, smarter and more creative
- We help people connect to joy, wellbeing, friends, mentors, skills, networks and employment
- We empower people to find their unique voice and give back to others through the Wish List
- We invite like-minded groups to join us in making the world a better place.
Why We Do It
For some, choir is a way to de-stress after work. For others, it’s a first glimpse into Australian life after arriving here as a migrant, asylum seeker or refugee. For others, it’s an opportunity to connect to networks, skills and employment. It’s all about joy, freedom and inspiration.
When diverse voices sing together, people can more easily connect to whatever they need in life… friends, mentors, wellbeing, new skills, self-esteem, employment and more. Creativity Australia believes unleashing a community’s collective creative potential can achieve incredible social and economic outcomes. Empowered individuals and supportive communities are better placed to solve society’s big challenges, such as cross-cultural integration, unemployment, mental illness, low economic productivity, skills shortages, loneliness and isolation, family fragmentation, homelessness and more.
Neuroscience proves singing connects the neural pathways in the brain differently and releases endorphins, making people healthier, happier, smarter and more creative. From this position, people are more capable of asking for, receiving and giving help.
This is why we’re the passionate leaders of a singing movement… to build communities and change the world!
