Your generous support directly impacts the lives of individuals needing mental health care. Every donation, big or small, brings us closer to a world where mental health support is more accessible.
You Can Help Change a Life
Help unlock the transformative power of the great outdoors, and join us in our mission to deliver life-changing mental health programs to those in need. Whether through a one-off donation, monthly contributions, or honouring a loved one’s memory, your support will change lives.
Supporting WOW will help more people access our surf therapy programs. We create a safe and supportive environment, encouraging participants to share lived experiences and connect with others in a similar position, thereby normalising mental health challenges.
Your donation will help deliver innovative treatment and support to one in five Australians experiencing mental health challenges.
What makes a program possible
A lot goes into running our surf therapy programs at WOW, but all of this is made possible thanks to the amazing support of our WOW community—thank you for helping us make waves in mental health!
Each hub site relies on two trained clinicians to guide and support participants as program facilitators.

With the powerful Aussie sun, each site requires 2 litres of sunscreen to keep everyone protected.
Sunscreen
We provide 15 soft-top surfboards at each site, catering to a range of shapes, sizes, and surfing abilities.

To keep participants comfortable and easily identifiable, we provide 30 rash shirts in various sizes at every site.

Staying warm in the water year-round is a priority, so each hub is equipped with 30 wetsuits in all sizes.

Our trusty vans help us transport equipment and staff, ensuring our programs reach even the most isolated locations.
