What Young Minds Network does

Young Minds Network is a privately-held, founder-owned allied health organisation headquartered in Queensland, Australia, established in 2001 by Di O'Malley. The practice delivers psychological therapy, occupational therapy, speech and language pathology, social work, and dietetics services for children, adolescents, adults, and families. Operations span four physical clinics across the Brisbane metropolitan area (Stafford, The Gap, North Lakes, Redcliffe) and are supplemented by telehealth delivery and periodic rural outreach visits. The core service offering covers individual therapy (50-minute sessions), formal psychological and neurodevelopmental assessment (ADHD, autism, cognitive, learning difficulties), and structured group programmes including children's, adolescent, adult, and parent groups, plus the Body Project eating disorder prevention programme.

The business operates on a fee-for-service private practice model. The organisation does not bulk bill, so clients with Medicare Mental Health Care Plans, Chronic Disease Management Plans, NDIS funding, private health insurance, or Employee Assistance Programme referrals still incur out-of-pocket costs. Revenue is generated entirely through clinical service delivery rather than through a technology product, and there is no proprietary software platform, AI system, or API-based offering. Operational technology is limited to standard clinical tools and the Katina online appointment and waitlist system for client intake and referral management.

Go-to-market is primarily referral-led, with formal intake pathways from GPs, psychiatrists, paediatricians, specialists, the Brisbane North Primary Health Network, NDIS, EAPs, and self-referrals, supported by a content marketing function via an educational blog on mental health topics. The practice is privately held by the founder with no disclosed external institutional investment, acquisitions, or leadership transitions beyond internal clinical lead appointments.
