    Working alongside you, we’re 100% dedicated to providing specialist services which improve the lifelong mental health of children, young people and adults – and help people with complex needs live better. We’ll set you on a path to find your motivation, resilience, and ultimately, your strength.Although Stride began simply as a way to help people find a place to live and work, we’re now leaders in early intervention and are currently working to expand our range of specialist services.That’s meant our brand has evolved too. We’ve recently changed our name from Aftercare to Stride. This reflects our focus on both the prevention and treatment of mental health conditions – building on the work we do with families and communities to roll out more evidence-based services across Australia.

    The challengesStride management is shady, dishonest and pays poorly for the industry. For a mental health focused company, they do little to uphold the mental wellbeing of their staff.

Great support with study and onsite placement. Loved working here. Amazing location and flexible to do nature based sessions depending on client need. Very culturally safe and best suited practice focused.
    The challengesLook the pay is not that much.
