Black Dog Institute

Our partnership with the Black Dog Institute 


We believe great leadership starts with self-awareness, resilience and the ability to lead others with empathy. That's why we've partnered with the Black Dog Institute, one of Australia's leading mental health organisations, as a key partner of the DUAL Emerge program. 

The Black Dog Institute's evidence-based programs are closely aligned with the objectives of DUAL Emerge, helping participants build mental resilience, develop sustainable leadership practices, and strengthen their ability to support the wellbeing of those around them. Through this partnership, Emerge participants will have access to learning experiences and resources designed to enhance both personal and professional growth.

Making a meaningful difference

Being a force for good is part of who we are. We are committed to creating positive impact not only within our business, but also across the communities we serve. 

As part of the DUAL Emerge program:

  • DUAL will donate $1,000 for every DUAL Emerge participant to the Black Dog Institute. 

  • Participating broker organisations have generously agreed to match DUAL's contribution, doubling the impact of each participant's involvement.

  • Together, we're supporting programs and research that improve mental health outcomes and help build more resilient communities.

About Black Dog Institute

Black Dog Institute is a global leader in mental health research and the only Medical Research Institute in Australia to investigate mental health across the lifespan. 

Their unique translational approach allows them to quickly turn their world-class scientific findings into clinical services, educational programs and e-health products that improve the lives of people with mental illness. 

On average, there is a 17 year gap for research evidence to reach clinical practice. With research, development, education and implementation teams working closely side-by-side, Black Dog Institute closes substantially this research to practice gap. 

They work directly in all parts of the community as well as guiding the development of new and improved policy. They place focus on those with specific mental health needs like young people, Indigenous communities, men, and high-risk workforces. 

Mental health

DUAL Australia acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the Land on which our business operates and Lands throughout Australia. We would like to acknowledge that Indigenous people have lived in harmony with this country and land for many thousand of years and that we as newcomers, have much to learn from this culture. We pay our respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures; and to Elders past, present and emerging.
