Changing Lives With Literature

The Australian Bibliotherapy Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation delivering life-changing books to support the mental wellbeing of Australian heroes and the organisations that serve them.
From frontline responders, to everyday Aussies battling burnout, we use the power of reading to restore minds, build resilience, reduce stress, and change lives - one book at a time.

Make a difference today, just one book can change a life.


Our programs are designed to meet people where they are — in the workplace, before and during recovery, in the community, and across the national conversation.
Through a mixture of workplace reading programs, targeted bibliotherapy resources, community-driven events, and national advocacy, we use the power of books to build stronger minds, stronger teams, and stronger communities.
