WWG was founded by five Brisbane health workers who worked in various NFP and public sector professional roles in multicultural health and mental health for the past 30 years.
As a result of a long history of multicultural health programs invariably being de-funded due to changes in policy and funding priorities despite positive evaluation results, the founders implemented a vision of an independent health social enterprise that could deliver services and work on fixing systems that create disadvantage in the first place.
To deliver a high quality, accessible and affordable multicultural health and wellbeing service for marginalised migrants, refugees and people seeking asylum. We are not interested in one-off projects; we want sustainable health services.
We also aspire to get a seat at the table in policy development and to lead a coalition of multicultural and health services to influence Australian health policy to be inclusive of multicultural populations. We want to see adequate investment in multicultural health. We are in it for the long haul.

World Wellness Group acknowledges that the space we occupy and the place we conduct our work, has and always will be the traditional lands of the Turrbul and Yuggera people.
We understand that the connection between this land and its indigenous people has a special and spiritual significance that benefits social and emotional wellbeing. We pay our respect to the elders past, present and future of this ancient land and recognise that delivering equitable healthcare requires that we understand, appreciate and reflect our respect for both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We commit to growing and nurturing our relationship with Indigenous Australians, to assuring their rightful place in the journey that is better health outcomes for Australia and to exploring the opportunity for partnerships and collaboration to benefit all.
