The Trustee For The Pathways To Resilience Trust

What The Trustee For The Pathways To Resilience Trust does

The Trustee For The Pathways To Resilience Trust, trading as Pathways to Resilience, is a Brisbane-based Australian not-for-profit trust and registered charity (ACNC) founded in 2012. It delivers neuroscience-informed training, programs, and consultancy to build social and emotional wellbeing capability in the early childhood education and care workforce, primary school educators, families, and community organisations across Queensland, Western Australia, Victoria, and New South Wales. Its flagship offering is Wings to Fly 2.0™, a two-day (12-hour) workshop for educators to deliver social and emotional wellbeing programs for children birth to six years, endorsed by the Australian Institute of Family Studies as evidence-based practice and accredited by NESA.

The organisation's intellectual property is grounded in Dr Bruce Perry's Neurosequential Model of Education, Dr Dan Siegel's interpersonal neurobiology, and attachment theory, packaged into a documented Theory of Change framework. The product suite spans educator workshops (Neuroscience for Educators, Trauma and Attachment), primary school programs (Meet Your Brain!, Journey to the Island of Calm, Kaleidoscope of Colour, Wellbeing Warriors, Brain Talks), family workshops (Neuroscience for Families, Coregulation, Parenting With The Brain in Mind), and ongoing coaching and mentoring services. A small e-commerce shop sells branded wellbeing tools (Breathing Cards A$15, Brain Poster A$16.50, Breathing Sphere A$22, puppets A$40-A$45, Basic Kit A$121, Complete Kit A$688).

Revenue is generated through fee-for-service workshops (A$3,000 keynote to A$6,600 weekend full-day), government-funded programs (Kindy Uplift via C&K Queensland and Lady Gowrie, Victorian School Readiness Funding, Inclusion Support Program, First Five Forever), philanthropic donations via ACNC Deductible Gift Recipient status, and resource sales. The organisation operates with approximately 13 staff across two Queensland offices (Springwood headquarters and West End), supported by a board of sector experts, and holds credit articulation arrangements with Griffith University for its flagship program.

Scale indicators9 records

Recent moves12 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Smiling Mind: Australian not-for-profit offering mindfulness and social-emotional learning programs via a free consumer app and school partnerships. Comparable mission and educator-customer base, with a digital delivery model Pathways has not yet adopted.

Regional players

• Child Australia: Western Australian-based ECEC professional development and consultancy organisation offering training across early childhood services. Comparable training and consultancy delivery model, primarily focused on Western Australian and remote/regional ECEC services.

Direct peers

• Australian Childhood Foundation: Australian not-for-profit providing trauma-informed therapeutic care, training and consultation for children and families. Overlaps directly with Pathways in trauma-informed practitioner training and child wellbeing program delivery.
• Conscious Discipline: Internationally recognised trauma-informed SEL and brain-state program for educators and families, with a similar methodology lens to Pathways' Neurosequential Approach. Competes for the same educator professional development wallet and offers both in-person and digital delivery.
• Emerging Minds: Australian national workforce development initiative focused on advancing the mental health of infants, children and adolescents. Directly comparable in delivering trauma-informed and mental-health training to the early childhood and family services workforce.
• Berry Street Education Model: Trauma-informed education approach delivered through Take Two and Berry Street Childhood Institute, providing professional learning to educators serving vulnerable children. Highly comparable as a trauma-informed SEL program competing for similar school and ECEC training budgets.

Broad incumbents

• Be You (Beyond Blue): Beyond Blue's national mental health and wellbeing initiative for educators and early learning services. A well-funded incumbent offering overlapping SEL and mental-health training to early childhood educators, often at no direct cost to participants.
• Committee for Children: US-based global non-profit developing SEL curricula including Second Step, widely adopted in primary schools. Represents the scaled, curriculum-licensed competitor model that Pathways would need to evolve toward for international or large-scale Australian reach.
• Alannah & Madeline Foundation: Australian children's charity running national programs on child safety, wellbeing and digital inclusion. Operates broadly in the children's wellbeing space with overlapping educator-facing content but is not specialised in neuroscience-based early childhood SEL.

Others

• Murdoch Children's Research Institute (Centre for Community Child Health): Major Australian paediatric research institute generating evidence-based practice guidance for early childhood services. Relevant as a research and policy partner whose evidence base overlaps with Pathways' neuroscience-informed approach, though it does not deliver fee-for-service training.
