About our charity
OpenGround - Australian Centre for Mindfulness and Compassion is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to making evidence-based mindfulness and compassion practices accessible to all Australians.
For over two decades, we have been at the forefront of bringing mindfulness into Australian life - offering programs grounded in rigorous research, clinical expertise, and a deep respect for the contemplative traditions from which these practices arise.
Our work spans a wide range of people and contexts: those living with chronic pain or illness, people navigating stress, anxiety, and depression, veterans and first responders, parents and carers, and those simply seeking a more awake and meaningful life. We also are involved in training and supporting the next generation of mindfulness teachers through our sister organisation the Mindfulness Training Institute of Australia and New Zealand.
As a charity, the generosity of our community - through participation, partnership, and philanthropic support - supports our organisational infrastructure and enables us to extend this work to those who need it most including our programs for Veterans, chronic pain and mental health.
