• Lived/living experience
    opportunities

    Open Minds is more than a support organisation – we are a community that values belonging, support, and inclusivity, and we believe that lived/living experience is a vital part of our mission and culture.

    We create an environment where employees who have developed expertise through navigating their own and/or a loved one’s mental health challenges can draw on lived/living experience and expertise 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/living 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.

  • We prioritise lived experiences for career
    growth and support

    Open Minds values the insights that those with lived/living experiences bring to our teams, which is why we help foster people in their roles and provide them with opportunities to build and develop themselves professionally within our organisation.

    We offer numerous opportunities for individuals with lived/living experience in a supportive network environment, including having access to personalised mentorship, mental health support, and resources that allow staff to thrive while using their life experiences to make a difference.
