beyondblue is an Australian non-profit organisation which aims to increase awareness and improve the treatment of depression, anxiety disorders, and related illnesses. Formed as an initiative of the Australian federal and state and territory governments after a period of public debate on the treatment of depression sufferers, beyondblue is a five-year program which was begun in October 2000.
The Head of beyondblue is Jeff Kennett AC, a former Premier of Victoria.
Many politicians have encouraged people to donate and get help if they are suffering from depression from beyondblue. These include West Australian Premier Geoff Gallop and John Brogden, former Opposition leader of the NSW Liberal Party.
