About Neami National
We support people to achieve wellbeing and mental health outcomes that matter to them.
Hello, we’re Neami.
We’re big believers in everyone having the opportunity to live a full life – and we give our all to support people to achieve the wellbeing and mental health outcomes that matter to them.
Everyone has different needs and aspirations, and at Neami, we get it.
Our Vision
For all people in Australia living with mental health and wellbeing challenges to live a life that is meaningful to them.
Our Purpose
To support people to achieve mental health and wellbeing outcomes that matter to them, through access to the resources and opportunities they need.
Our Values
Our values define who we are and guide the way we operate.
We’re Neami.
We believe in everyone having the opportunity to live a life that’s meaningful.
For more than 30 years, we’ve been supporting people to achieve the wellbeing and mental health outcomes that matter to them.
Driving our purpose and vision for the future are our Social Impact Strategy, Strategic Directions, and organisational Values.
We’ve been listening to staff, the sector, and the people we support to understand what’s important and their hopes for the future.
It’s shaped where we’re headed and helped us to define the difference we want to make in the world.
We are committed to our 10-year Social Impact Strategy.
As a national organisation working across many different Indigenous lands, we have a responsibility to understand and improve how we contribute to long-term social, economic, and environmental change.
Our four-year Strategic Directions set our goals and priorities to bring our vision to life and fulfil our purpose.
Placing lived and living experience, along with First Nations perspectives at the heart of what we do, we’re committed to:
– great consumer experiences,
– building collective knowledge and partnerships,
– being a sustainable and resilient organisation,
– and having a capable and diverse workforce.
Our Values of connecting, collaborating, learning, and belonging underpin our vision. They shape our workplace culture and guide our decisions and actions.
Combined, our Social Impact Strategy, Strategic Directions, and organisational Values help us to deliver meaningful and sustainable impact, now and into the future.
Everyone at Neami is part of this vision, and plays a role in making a positive difference.

About
Our work
At Neami, we aspire to place lived and living experience at the heart of what we do. We strive to learn from personal experiences of mental health and or adversity to grow and design better programs and services.
We know the mental health system can work better. So, as one of Australia’s largest mental health specialists, we use our voice to fight for change and system improvements that will benefit all Australians.
About
Our team
From peer support workers to psychologists – we are not just ‘staff’ or ‘case workers’. We’re people. People who listen; people who care; people who come from different backgrounds – including people who have walked their own mental health journey.
We’re people who believe that wellbeing and quality of life are possible for everyone in different ways.
About
Indigenous Governance Principles
The implementation of Indigenous Governance Principles across the organisation and our programs is a key focus for Neami. The principles look to address the issues of power and ownership imbalance so that we may ‘bridge the gap’.
About
Growing an inclusive environment for all
We understand that safe, accessible and culturally responsive services and workplaces, require a whole-of-organisation approach that celebrates, values and includes people of all backgrounds, identities, cultures and experiences.
We believe working in this way makes our teams, services and organisation stronger and more effective.
Explore Neami
Founded in 1986, we’ve grown to a 1,200+ strong team supporting 34,000 people each year and offer services across 40 different Indigenous lands.
We work with people to help improve their quality of life, on their terms.
