We’re proud to offer a calm, respectful experience for individuals — backed by the systems and expertise required to deliver services safely and reliably at scale.
About The Anna Centre
The Anna Centre is a proudly Indigenous-owned and governed psychology practice, supporting individuals, families, workplaces and government partners across Australia for over 35 years.
Founded in Bendigo in 1990, we were built on a simple belief: that strong mental health underpins thriving people, healthy organisations and resilient communities. From our earliest work to today, we exist to walk alongside people as they navigate change, complexity and growth — with care that is human, culturally safe and clinically sound.
Â
Our Vision
Our vision is simple, but enduring:Â To offer clarity, support and confidence to those navigating life, work and change.
Whether supporting one person, one team or an entire workforce, we aim to be a trusted partner — grounded, capable and human.
