Honorary Treasurer Grow National Board

Grow is a national mental health, community-based organisation that has helped thousands of Australians recover from mental illness through a unique and proven program of mutual support and personal development. Grow was established in Sydney in 1957. The founders were drawn together by their first-hand experience of mental illness. The wisdom and experience they gained in helping each other to recover their good mental health was carefully recorded and forms the basis of the unique Grow Program. Today there are around 180 Grow Groups across Australia. Groups meet weekly and are free. Grow Groups continue to be led by recovered members, maintaining our long held tradition as a consumer led organisation. Grow is a national not for profit with an annual turnover of approximately $6million per annum. Grow is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity. Grow receives funding from each state and territory government and some federal funding. Grow has offices in each state and territory and the national office is located in Brisbane, Queensland.
