At the Collaborative Centre, our people bring together diverse expertise to support a stronger mental health and wellbeing system in Victoria.
Our teams include people with Lived and Living Experience, clinicians, researchers, educators, policy and public sector professionals, communicators and operational specialists. What brings us together is a shared commitment to learning, collaboration and reform shaped by the people and communities the system exists to serve.
This breadth of experience shapes how we work: how we listen, how we partner, how we translate evidence into practice, and how we support change across the system.
