All are welcome

Stride continues to expand our impact, delivering a diverse range of mental health and wellbeing services across the country. Last year we helped more than 21,000 people find the support they need.

We help people of all ages improve their wellbeing, from early intervention to complex mental health concerns, through delivery of a range of community mental health services and supports including residential, crisis, psychosocial, and integrated services.

Working alongside you, we’re 100% dedicated to creating and delivering services, which improve the lifelong mental health of children and young people and help people with complex needs live better.

To make sure that we do this every day, we are guided by our values.

Our values

Dedicated

Specialisation takes commitment. Our clear focus on mental health allows us to live at the side of our consumers, continually delivering to their needs without distraction. When we talk, it’s clear, concise, and always delivered in our authentic, accessible style.

We go further, try harder, and we never give up.

Values logo
Outside the box

Be brave. Try something different. Be individual. The way we do things is informed by expertise and backed by research, but the way we engage is fresh and forward-thinking. We encourage new ideas, value creativity, and will never take a one-size-fits-all approach to anything we do.

We work tirelessly and creatively to find the right solution.

On your side

We deliver the support our consumers need. It’s about being warmly empathetic but sharing hard truths when the time is right – talking with people, not at them. We adapt our communications for our message and audience and never underestimate the complexity of what they’re experiencing.

We are with you every step of the way.
