beyondblue

Three million Australians are currently experiencing anxiety or depression and nearly eight people take their own lives every day. Because this affects all of us, Beyond Blue is equipping everyone in Australia with the knowledge and skills to protect their own mental health.

Beyond Blue’s vision is:

For all people in Australia to achieve their best possible mental health.

We do this by:

• Reducing the impact of anxiety, depression and suicide by  supporting people to protect their mental health and to recover when they are unwell.
• Reducing people’s experiences of stigma and discrimination.
• Improving people’s opportunities to get effective support and services at the right time.
• Using best business practices to deliver integrated, evidence-based and cost-effective initiatives through our people and resources.

Mental health conditions don’t discriminate, and neither do we. Our programs and initiatives support all people at all stages of life, wherever they live, work, study and play. 

We place a high priority on seeking out, listening and responding to the experiences of people affected by anxiety, depression and suicide, and combine this with evidence generated by researchers and evaluators.

We work in all States and Territories, aiming for our campaigns, communications, resources and programs to be as accessible in remote communities as inner metropolitan suburbs.

We aim to:

• Inform and connect people to enable them to achieve their best possible mental health and access support when they need it.
• Influence and challenge discriminatory behaviour by advocating for positive change and prompting discussions across Australia.
• Innovate and initiate effective ways to improve access to support and improve outcomes for people, families and communities
