I've Got Your 6 Foundation

What I've Got Your 6 Foundation does

I've Got Your 6 Foundation (IGY6) is an Australian not-for-profit charity and approved Ex-Service Organisation headquartered in Chelsea, Victoria, that delivers trauma-informed mental health, rehabilitation, wellbeing, and employment services to current and former Australian Defence Force members, veterans, first responders, NDIS participants, and their families. The organisation operates two principal service divisions: a Client Services arm covering psychology, counselling, DVA psychosocial and vocational rehabilitation, NDIS plan-managed services, camaraderie groups (IGY6 Circle, Women Circle, Men Circle), Women Veteran Wellness Retreats, the Life After Service program, and Partner Employment Assistance Program (PEAP); and an IGY6 Workplace division providing enterprise workforce wellbeing, psychological safety, leadership development, and EAP programs to corporate and government clients.

The underlying service methodology is described as neuroscience-informed, integrating Neuro-Linguistic Programming principles with rehabilitation frameworks to address PTSD, anxiety, transition challenges, and identity loss. Service delivery combines in-person sessions at the Chelsea VIC office (dog-friendly, with new venues in Geelong, Frankston, and regional Victoria) with Telehealth via Zoom for national reach. The technology stack is intentionally lean: Zoom for service delivery, Shopify for the branded merchandise storefront, and standard web/marketing infrastructure. There is no proprietary software product, no AI/ML components, and no public API; IGY6 is a service organisation rather than a technology company.

Revenue is generated through five streams: DVA-funded psychosocial and vocational rehabilitation services (accessed via all 15 DVA-contracted rehabilitation providers), NDIS plan-managed psychology, counselling, behaviour support, and SLES services, Medicare Mental Health Care Plan rebates for first responders and family members ($100 session, $97 rebate, $3 out-of-pocket), donations and fundraising (one-off, monthly, and bequests), and merchandise sales ($5-$35 per item). Go-to-market is referral-led through DVA agencies, GP Mental Health Care Plans, NDIS support coordinators, and direct enquiry, supplemented by presence at veteran expos and community events. Notable commercial milestones include the Victorian Government Anzac Day Proceeds Fund grant for six Women Veteran Wellness Retreats in 2026 and the launch of the IGY6 Workplace B2B channel targeting veteran, first-responder, and high-demand-workforce employer segments.
