Happiness Co Foundation
Making Happiness Attainable
Born from loss. Built on hope.
When our founder, Julian, lost his father to suicide on his 21st birthday, he made a promise: no one should feel alone through their darkest moments. That promise became the Happiness Co Foundation – a movement turning pain into possibility and prevention into action.
Impacting 10 million lives in 10 years
— that’s our vision. And we’re already on our way.
A Movement Built on
Prevention & Connection
Our approach is action-oriented, collaborative and deeply human. Through events, training, giving-back programs and people-centred projects, we empower individuals with resources and practical tools that foster resilience and sustainable wellbeing.
To achieve our vision of impacting 10 million lives in 10 years, we’ve designed a model that blends entrepreneurial thinking with grassroots trust. Our point of difference lies in our positioning:
We are not a mental health organisation that waits for crisis. We are a happiness movement that intervenes with education, connection and prevention.
Making Happiness Attainable
One in four Australians will face challenges with their mental health. Globally, one in eight people are affected. Too often, help only arrives once a crisis has taken hold.
At Happiness Co Foundation, we do things differently. We intervene early, teaching resilience in schools, building networks in communities and embedding wellbeing in workplaces. We don’t just help people survive. We help them thrive.
We are not a warning sign.
We are a lighthouse.
Our Programs
Our programs transform lives by shifting individuals from crisis to capability through prevention, education and connection. Initiatives like our Happy to Help program meet immediate needs, while free youth, school & community workshops, the Father Project and International Day activations foster resilience and belonging across communities.
Volunteers
Every life we change is made possible by volunteers. But at Happiness Co Foundation, volunteering is about more than giving time – it’s about multiplying impact.
We train, mentor and empower our incredible volunteers to become advocates in their own communities. Each workshop facilitated, every event supported and every story shared creates a ripple effect that extends far beyond the individual moment.
What We Give Back
Every volunteer saves lives – not just through the time they give, but through the ripple effect they create.
Real Impact, Real Stories
Behind every number is a face, a family, a community and a story of change.
These stories prove our philosophy: small actions, done often, change everything.
The Gift of a Bed pack to Street Friends WA
When our Street Friends received Bed packs from Happiness Co, it was more than warmth — it was hope. One man told us, ‘It reminds me that someone believed I deserved a second chance.’ Small acts like these restore dignity and remind people they’re not forgotten.
“It’s been incredibly rewarding to know I’m helping make a real difference in people’s lives.”
I’ve had the privilege of volunteering with the Happiness Co Foundation for over six years. It’s been incredibly rewarding to know I’m helping make a real difference in people’s lives. Along the way, I’ve met some amazing people and had a lot of fun too. The events are exceptional, the team is passionate, the impact is real – and I’m proud to be part of such meaningful work. – Athena Fraser
“I love this organisation”
I have been involved in many volunteer activities over the years all of which are always fun and rewarding. I am passionate about the values and the cause 💞💞
Partnerships For Social Impact
We believe impact multiplies when like-minded organisations work together. That’s why we partner with schools, corporates and grassroots groups to deliver programs that align with their goals, while also creating real change in the communities around us.
