Organisational Principles

Our Principles are that a person at risk of poor mental health and other disabilities:

  • is considered as someone with potential, abilities and a future
  • has the right to choose, and
  • is involved in the planning of outdoor adventure activities

In supporting our principles, Out Doors Inc. will:

  • Collaborate – we work with people and community to improve individual’s wellbeing with particular emphasis on people living with poor mental health
  • Educate – we research, develop, organise, conduct and evaluate education and training programs for organisations involved in improving mental health and wellbeing, and
  • Promote – we uphold the value of human contact with natural environments, outdoor adventure and the positive effects these can have on people’s wellbeing
