Lived experience
opportunitiesOpen Minds is more than a support organisation – we are a community that values belonging, support, and inclusivity, and we believe that lived experience is a vital part of our mission and culture.
We create an environment where employees who have navigated mental health challenges can use their personal journeys to inspire, support, and build stronger connections, both within our teams and with everyone we support.

What does lived experience mean
when working with us?At Open Minds, we believe that employees who have lived similar experiences to our clients are in a unique position to help bring their perspectives into every aspect of their roles.
Whether working directly with clients and colleagues or helping shape our overall programs and services, lived experience plays a crucial role in how we focus on delivering mental health supports through personalised care and compassionate support for people.
This perspective helps foster an inclusive workplace where everyone’s voice is heard, which in turn helps strengthen our culture and client-centred supports to people in the community.
