Welcome to the new One in Five Website!

We are a group of friends whose lives have been significantly affected by an affliction affecting one in five Australians - mental illness.

One in Five is a not-for-profit organisation that relies on financial sponsorship from organisations and individuals.

It is staffed wholly by volunteers dedicated to:

  • Generating greater awareness of mental illness; and
    • Raising funds for research on the prevention and treatment of mental illness.
    Each year One in Five organise a number of fundraising events and since its first event in 2003 has raised over $700,000!


    Vision: Our ultimate dream is for Australia to become None in Five

    Our Mission: One in Five raises awareness and funds for research projects that are aimed at understanding and treating the causes of mental illness to enable None in Five.
