Raiise

What Raiise does

Raiise is an Australian gender-equality education company founded in 2023 and headquartered in Adelaide, South Australia, operating as a social impact initiative under parent company Gravitate Consulting. The company delivers education on respectful behaviour, bystander intervention, unconscious bias, and the drivers of violence against women through three core product lines: the Respectful Environments Program for sporting clubs (Adult workshops and Youth e-learning), the Raiise Respect Schools Program (a six-module e-learning curriculum for Years 8-10 students aligned with Australian Curriculum Version 9 and Health and Physical Education standards), and the Gender Equality Assessment and Planning Program (GEAPP), a 12-month consultation add-on. The platform is built around an e-learning portal at education.raiise.com.au, supplemented by in-person facilitated workshops delivered through a network of trained facilitators, and is supported by high-visibility brand ambassadors from elite women's sport.

The business serves four segments: secondary schools, sporting clubs and organisations, corporate entities, and community groups, with a primary focus on South Australia and broader Australia. Revenue is generated through three streams: annual school subscriptions priced at A$1,990 per year, freemium access for sporting clubs (six-month free access via redemption codes), and professional services including facilitated workshop delivery, policy review, strategic planning, and stakeholder engagement consulting. Sporting-club and teacher access are partly subsidised via the RAA Grassroots Giving Program, and the original Respectful Environments Program was co-designed with the South Australian Government Office for Women, indicating material reliance on government and grant funding alongside commercial revenue. The company is founder-led (Director Ross Wait, founder of Gravitate Consulting), has not raised institutional capital, and does not disclose headcount or revenue figures.
