SANE Australia
SANE Australia is a leading national mental health organisation dedicated to supporting Australians living with complex mental health conditions, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, severe anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and eating disorders. Established in 1986, SANE provides free digital and telehealth services, including counselling, peer support, and moderated online forums, for individuals over 18 and their families, carers, and communities.
The organisation champions mental health equity through advocacy, research via the Anne Deveson Research Centre, and initiatives like StigmaWatch, promoting responsible media reporting. SANE focuses on reducing stigma, improving access to care, and fostering inclusion for people with intellectual disabilities, autism, and acquired brain injuries.
Guided by values of respect, innovation, and collaboration, SANE empowers individuals to live fulfilling lives while driving systemic change in mental health policy and practice across Australia.
