About Neami National

We're Neami. We're big believers in everyone having the opportunity to live a full life. We support people to achieve wellbeing and mental health outcomes that matter to them. We provide services across Australia for mental health and wellbeing, housing and homelessness, and suicide prevention.

For some people, this means having a stronger sense of self. For others, it may mean nurturing relationships or building the confidence to tackle tomorrow. We support people to improve their quality of life in a way that suits them.

We're proud to support 34,000+ people living with mental health challenges each year across Australia and offer services over 40 different Indigenous lands.

Our approach is based on evidence: what has been proven to work and what people tell us helps. We adjust and improve our approach to make sure that we're doing the very best we can.

We value lived and living experience. We try to learn from people's personal experiences of mental health challenges, adversity, and interactions with support services. We use what we learn to design and influence our programs and services.

As one of Australia's largest providers of mental health services, we advocate for system change to improve lives.

We know the mental health system can work better. We passionately encourage reforms that reflect lived and living experience and give people choice.

Values

Together with our vision and purpose, our values define who we are and guide the way we operate. They are fundamental to our identity, and we align all our actions with them.
