About the organisation

Organisation Name : PANDA - Perinatal Anxiety and Depression Australia

We are a not for profit organisation founded in and guided by lived experience, and have a 39 year history in supporting individuals, families and the community affected by perinatal mental illness and vulnerability. Our National Perinatal Mental Health Helpline is the only free, national helpline supporting people experiencing or affected by perinatal mental health challenges.

PANDA grew from a small community-based organisation, founded by a group of women who had first-hand experience in what it was like to struggle with postnatal depression. They wanted to assist other women experiencing the same.

Our vision is a society where perinatal mental health is valued and understood and where stigma and systemic barriers to seeking help no longer exist.
