2020s – Rising Stronger, Giving Back
The 2020s brought immense challenges – from the COVID-19 pandemic to natural disasters across Australia. These events reshaped how we deliver support, prompting rapid innovation in digital tools and remote service delivery.
Amid this, we launched The Flourish Foundation Australia, a major step forward in advocacy and giving. Backed by dedicated Ambassadors, it expanded our voice and impact in mental health. This decade reflects our strength, adaptability and enduring commitment to helping people flourish.
2022 – A sound foundation
The Flourish Foundation Australia was launched by the Governor of NSW, leveraging the influence of six amazing Ambassadors to elevate conversations around mental health and the resources required to make a difference.
A new Framework for reclaiming Social Citizenship was co-designed with the people we support and partner organisations, and we commissioned an IT review to inform a Transformation Strategy for improving the digital citizenship of people accessing our supports remotely.
2024 – Future hope
Fine-tuning recruitment processes grew our frontline Peer Workforce toward a target of 50% by 2027 and we progressed our Professional Peer Work Practice Framework.
We also partnered with Flinders University on an Evidence Guide to build upon for our future.
2025 – A Happy Anniversary!
As we celebrate 70 remarkable years of serving Australian communities, the Flourish Australia family is so happy and grateful to have made it this far in our journey.
We are proud of the way we’ve navigated the many twists and turns over the years, and beyond excited to see our future vision for a world where mental wellbeing flourishes, through to fruition.
Thank you for choosing to journey with us!
