About Equal Ed
What we do
Equal Ed is a social enterprise that provides a variety of services to schools, non-profits and local government

Equal Ed aims to:

  • Empower individuals through increasing access to learning and development opportunities and
  • Strengthen communities through delivering innovative and people-centred services and solutions
Our work is currently split into 3 main divisions:

  • Strategy & Consulting
  • Programs
  • Education Technology


The Strategy and Consulting Division provides a suite of professional services to our clients including strategy development, program co-design, program implementation and efficacy measurement.


The Programs Division works with schools to deliver our HESA Mental Health Program in addition to providing free academic support programs in the community.


Our staff will have the opportunity to take on project rotations across all 3 divisions depending on their interests, skills and the needs of each division.

Our Social Enterprise Model

Position Description - HESA Program Practitioner


Our social enterprise enables us to fund the free homework support programs we run in the community without being reliant on external grants or funding.


Furthermore, it allows us to subsidise clients who may otherwise not be able to access our paid services and increase the number of people and communities who benefit from our work.

About the HESA Program


HESA stands for Higher Education and Student Advancement Program and was initially developed to support high school students with identifying and accessing opportunities for meaningful education and employment.

Starting in 2018, the HESA Program has worked with over 800 students in the past 5 years.

Our original modules covered a range of topics from mental health to career outcomes and time management.

Over time, the HESA program refined its scope to focus on improving mental health outcomes in year 10, 11 and 12 students, with its other modules being integrated to existing Equal Ed services.


Today, HESA is an early intervention program designed to decrease stigma and increase access to social and professional mental health support in Year 10-12 student cohorts.

In 2023, the HESA program will be working with VicHealth through a substantial partnership grant and will aim to achieve the following objectives in 2023 and beyond:

  • Create more robust program content through collaborative design with community and clinical mental health practitioners, school staff and students
  • Create more robust training and development pathways for lived-experience facilitators delivering our content
  • Expand our programming and fully subsidise 10+ schools to access the program
  • Set a clear direction for the HESA program's growth and development and create sustainable revenue streams to sustain a subsidisation model for low-SES schools
Equal Ed is a child safe organisation.

All applicants must be committed to protecting children we engage with from harm or abuse in accordance with the Victorian Child Safety Standards.
