This stemmed from his own lived experience of hitting rock bottom and embarking on a mission to try and prevent anyone from going through what he did.

Our mission
To bring quality wellbeing support within everyone's reach by making it simple for businesses to navigate compliance while supporting employee wellbeing
Lived Experience
Foremind is Australia’s leading proactive mental safety and compliance platform, built from lived experience to prevent crises before they start.
Everyone thrives
Our vision is workplaces where everyone thrives. Each year, over 10 million Australians need mental health support, but only half receive it due to access, stigma, cost, and timing.
Holistic Approach
We treat mental health as part of the full employee experience, not a last-minute crisis fix. By pairing psychosocial hazard compliance with culture support, we offer discreet, accessible care people use.
Driving cultural change
With Australia-based customer service, we partner across construction, healthcare, professional services, aged care and more to deliver mental health support that drives cultural change for small to mid-sized employers.
Investors & board
When we first backed Joel in 2022, we saw extraordinary potential in both the founder and Foremind's mission. Two and a half years later, that early belief has been validated many times over. This third investment reflects our continued confidence not just in Foremind's impressive expansion into new SME sectors, but in Joel's outstanding leadership as he scales the product, team, and impact across new markets.
Maxine Lee, Investment Director at Skalata
We’re excited to invest in the Foremind team as they tackle a clear gap in workplace mental health. Foremind have found a significant opportunity in industries, like construction, healthcare and education that have been underserved by traditional tools, where workers face high stress but have limited access to support.
Adam Milgrom, Partner at Giant Leap
Our journey with Foremind began by supporting Joel Anderson as a Snow Entrepreneur, providing wraparound support and growth grant funding for their life-changing work. Foremind has made tremendous progress, and we are excited to now invest in their next phase of growth and impact. We can’t wait to see Joel and the skilled, dedicated team at Foremind continue to make a significant difference in ensuring psychosocial safety and mental health support for workers in all businesses.

Employees can access our platform on any device (mobile, laptop, desktop, etc.) as long you have the website link - no need to download any app on devices. You wouldn’t need to enrol any of your staff individually.- When we do our onboarding, we ask for the first name, last name and email of all your employees, and send out an email invite to all them which will allow them to create their own individual account to access the platform. For new staff we can also invite them or provide you with a unique link to embed in your onboarding process, whichever is more convenient for you. We also kick things off with a launch webinar or video to make sure everyone is aware of Foremind and how to use it. We’ll also provide you with any collateral such as posters, QR codes, brochures etc. to help drive awareness and encourage people to create an account in the platform.
