BUSINESS MODEL

Upbeat Arts provides an innovative approach to improving the health and life outcomes of its participants.

Upbeat Arts is a registered charity providing an innovative, community based approach to improving the health, wellbeing and life outcomes of adults living with mental health challenges.

Upbeat Arts was established in Brisbane in 2014 and has grown into an accredited community
mental health service provider, delivering creative programs that support mental health recovery, wellbeing and connection.

Through our partnership with Queensland Health, we provide community-based psychosocial group support programs through choir and creative writing programs. Our work creates uplifting places where people can belong, express themselves and be part of something meaningful.

Upbeat Arts is guided by a committed Board of Directors and delivered by a dedicated team who make this work possible.
