The Mission of the National Aphasia Association is to promote public awareness and understanding of aphasia, to promote research that aims to improve the lives of people with aphasia, and to provide support to all persons with aphasia and their caregivers. The NAA envisions a society in which aphasia is a commonly understood word and where all persons with aphasia, regardless of individual differences, their families, health professionals, and the public have access to appropriate education and resources that would enhance their potential for an acceptable quality of life.

The Humour Foundation is a national, registered charity co-founded by the late General Practitioner Dr Peter Spitzer and professional performer Jean-Paul Bell. The first Clown Doctors outing was in Tasmania in response to the Port Arthur massacre, with the first regular Clown Doctors program established at Sydney Children’s Hospital, Randwick in 1997, and at the Royal Children’s Hospital Melbourne the following year. In 2011 we responded to the need for laughter therapy and human connection in the residential aged care sector and launched our first Laughter Care program in Melbourne (previously known as the Elder Clowns program).

All people have human rights. But those rights are abused or denied every single day. We are witnessing a rollback of human rights globally. World leaders are pushing hate, attempting to erase rights protections, commiting crimes against humanity, and enacting policies that drive and deepen inequality. When that happens, Amnesty International finds the facts, exposes what’s happening, and rallies people together to force governments and others to respect everyone’s human rights. Our vision is of a world in which every person enjoys all of the human rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international human rights instruments. In pursuit of this vision, our mission is to undertake research and action focused on preventing and ending grave abuses of these rights.
