Our Guiding Principles
All people matter to us
Everyone has the right to be treated with respect, dignity, professionalism, promptness and care. That’s why we exist.
People can be empowered
With the right support and assistance, everyone can develop and achieve their goals through better learnings and more empowerment.
Constantly innovating
We continuously look for better ways to do things, be more effective, provide more support and make life easier for our clients.
Personal safety is paramount
The safety of our people and clients always comes first, and we build that into each staff member and person we are helping.
How do we achieve this?
Better Place Australia is a community-focused not-for-profit with a growing range of psychological and community support services. These services are based on independent and evidence-based research that identifies real needs within the community that are currently not being met, and meeting those.
How we’re helping our communities
We help communities in a variety of ways.
This includes:
- providing financial counselling and developing the financial literacy skills of those experiencing poverty or who are lacking financial resources
- providing support and treatment to adults, teenagers, children and families who are experiencing mental health issues, abuse, trauma and the risk of suicide
- resolving conflict and improving relationships to ease high levels of distress, isolation and other complex needs among children, the older people and families
From family mediation and elder abuse prevention to relationship education and everywhere in between, all our services are easily accessible to everyone in the community. We also offer professional consulting, training and education services in the areas of human relationships, conflict management and resolution, and family and organisational functioning.
