Mid-level Software Engineer

About Hello Sunday Morning

Hello Sunday Morning's mission is to change the world's relationship with alcohol. One Sunday at a time.

It began in 2009 when Founder, Chris Raine, documented his year long experiment to take a break from drinking in a blog. The organisation has since grown into Australia's largest alcohol-focused digital health service.

Our flagship technology platform, the Daybreak app, provides free anonymous 24/7 peer support for people to change their relationship with alcohol, whether that is taking a break, cutting back or quitting. With over 160,000 registrations, it is the largest digital peer support community of its kind in the world.

Daybreak is supplemented by a range of other services and tools to support self-directed change, including a self-assessment tool, My Drink Check; a monitoring tool, Drink Tracker; a self-directed CBT program, Hello Change, and a range of written resources, tips and supports.
