The Different Co.

The Different Co. is a Christian organisation that provides evidence-informed care, seeking justice and leading the way Australians engage in purposeful work.

With over 60 years of heritage our mission is to provide pastoral care for every workplace, every team and on every device; so that everyone, everywhere can flourish at work and in life. From advocating women’s work rights in the 60s and 70s to introducing the nation’s first Employee Assistance Program we have always prioritised every individual’s holistic well-being. Our commitment to care, advocacy, research, and innovation endures.

We offer a unique approach to modern-day workforce care that combines mental health care, professional business expertise, and pastoral support.

Our research* shows that 32% of workers access employee support for a business or work-related problem, not only for personal mental or emotional well-being, or spiritual care. Therefore, our modern approach combines pastoral support, mental health care, and professional business expertise to provide comprehensive care that meets the unique needs of today’s workforce.
