IMPACT REPORT
A message from our founder
COMPAS continues to grow across Australia, with a shared goal of reaching students before crisis point. Through collaboration with universities and mental health professionals, our team continues to refine screening tools, strengthen support pathways, and contribute to suicide prevention research and practice.
A year of shared impact
In 2024–2025, COMPAS expanded implementation across partner universities, trained more clinical psychology trainees, and supported thousands of students through early intervention. Our collective impact reflects collaboration, compassion, and evidence-based innovation in mental health care.
