Our Story & Vision

The Anna Centre is a proudly Indigenous-led psychology practice based in Bendigo, supporting individuals, families, and organisations since 1990. Founded on the belief that mental health is the foundation of a thriving society, we exist to walk alongside people as they grow, heal, and reconnect — with themselves, their communities, and the world around them.

Our name, Anna, symbolises grace, wisdom, and renewal. Across history and mythology, Anna has represented the nurturing feminine, the cycles of life, and the power of aligned living. That spirit continues in the work we do today — creating a space where people feel safe, supported, and empowered through life’s most challenging and transformational moments.

We’ve brought together a deeply experienced and caring team of psychologists, social workers, counsellors, and therapists — each with their own areas of expertise, yet united by shared values of compassion, cultural safety, and evidence-based care.

From individual and couples therapy to family support, workplace wellbeing, leadership coaching, and community programs — we take a holistic, trauma-informed approach that honours the unique needs of every person, team, and community we work with.

Our vision is simple but powerful: to be a beacon of hope and healing — offering support, connection, and clarity to those navigating life’s complexities.
