About Stride Mental Health

We’re 100% dedicated to providing services that improve the lifelong mental health of children, young people and adults – and help people with complex needs live better.

We are continuing to build on the work we do with families and communities to roll out more evidence-based services across Australia.

Today Stride employs nearly 900 staff across 77 locations. We proudly operate a variety of services including residential, community programs, Safe Spaces, Safe Havens, Medicare Mental Health centres and headspace centres throughout the eastern seaboard.

In addition to this we provide NDIS Support Coordination, Therapeutic Supports, Recovery Coaching and Supported Independent Living services.
