Community Clinics
Community Clinics are needed all across Australia, because unfortunately suicide continues to be the leading cause of death for young Australians. By using footy and fun, we make our mental health message as informative and accessible as possible, and forge long-lasting relationships with the areas we visit.
Our Philosophy
● Whole-of-community approach to visit regional communities
● Use sport as a conduit to discuss mental health
● Build social capacity and assist in connecting community to existing health services
Our work is underpinned by 3rd party evaluation with the University of Newcastle & The Wollotuka Institute.

"Please pass on my congratulations to Greg and everyone involved in organising the Academy. I have had very positive feedback from kids who were involved and their parents. I was particularly impressed by the question session at the end of Greg’s presentation. It was clear from the questions that his message had sunk in and I know from experience how difficult it is to get kids in that age group to open up and ask – and yet so many of them did."

"Hi there thank you for giving my son an opportunity to attend the 1st Goanna Academy launch at Macksville. It was a wonderful experience for my son as well as ourselves... ...Greg should be proud of himself and the road he has chosen as a role model for kids and adults, as well as mental health awareness. It's fantastic."
