Where does my money go?

We keep our internal costs down by employing a small team of staff in Sydney who work alongside many of our incredible volunteers across Australia.

A full 85% of your donation goes to delivering our services, including ReachOut (Young People), ReachOut Parents and ReachOut Schools. This includes content creation, online resources, research that helps us get it right, and designing mental health services to assist young people experiencing mental health issues across Australia and the world.

The remaining 15% goes towards keeping us running. This includes staffing costs, and essential things like keeping the lights on, running computers and paying the rent for our office space.

We have a policy of financial transparency, and are externally audited every year. You can read our Year in Review and financial reports for an overview of our income and expenditure.

What is a monthly gift?

add remove

Put simply, your monthly or regular gift helps to save lives and improve the mental health and wellbeing of young people every day of the year.

A monthly or regular gift is a tax-deductible donation that is debited from your nominated account on or around the 17th of each month. By committing to a regular monthly gift, you can help provide young people with a better way to deal with difficult times. For as little as $12 a month, less than a movie ticket, you will have an impact on the mental health of thousands of young Australians. You will also join a community of people who understand that looking after your mental health is just as important as caring for your physical health.
