Frequently Asked Questions

  • The most important step, at this stage, is to raise funds for capacity building. We need to develop a comprehensive business strategy, airtight community consultation plan and a robust model of care framework with our national partner Black Dog Institute.

    From there, we will have the documents needed to raise the $4.5M required for Stage 1’s building works. We hope that this money will come from a combination of local and national philanthropists and state and national government. If you’re interested in supporting this phase, please email us and we can provide more information.

  • We are committed to this vision in the Albury-Wodonga region, no matter the location of the site. However, if the Foundation folded, funds would be redistributed to a local charity aligned with the Foundation’s mission, and in consultation with donors.

  • Yes! Our DGR status is pending, however we have been auspiced by RAS in the interim.

  • We imagine you’ll want to have a conversation before that happens, so please send us an email. We’d love to arrange a coffee or a call to answer any questions you might have. We can provide other ways of donating accordingly.

  • Send us an email through the Contact form and we’ll add your details to our list. Once we have the internal infrastructure, we will have the capacity to provide regular updates to donors, community leads, and those interested in the project at large.

  • This is what the business model and model of care will determine. Our team is made up of clinicians and those with lived experience. It is our commitment to ensure that the organisations that tenant the Centre will have, within their remit, financially accessible and/or publicly funded support. What this looks like exactly, at this stage, is difficult to say.
