About Us

Hand-n-Hand (Helping Australian & New Zealand Nurses and Doctors) was founded in March 2020 in far north QLD.

 

Initially a response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the growing emotional burden that came with it, we have been amazed with the speed and enthusiasm with which peer support has been adopted.

​

Today, hundreds of participants and volunteer facilitators have signed up to be a part of the growing peer support movement, from just about every healthcare profession and study imaginable.

​

What we quickly discovered is that there is an ongoing need for peer support beyond the pandemic, and are making efforts to turn Hand-n-Hand into a sustainable, long-term solution that can provide peer support for generations of healthcare workers to come.

​

Hand-n-Hand is registered as a public company and health promotion charity as Hand N Hand Services Ltd.

​

We are deeply grateful to our partners, our principal sponsor the Australian Department of Health, individual donors, volunteers, ambassadors, staff and our Volunteer Board. Their support and generosity enables us to continue to serve our health care community.
