Grounded. Connected. Empowered.
At Life Again, we connect young people, leaders, and organisations to transformative
experiences that build resilience, deepen understanding, and foster true connection — through
Indigenous-led learning and nature-based immersions.
Because we believe there can be No Change Without UnderstandingTM.
The Challenge We Face
Australia is Facing an Unprecedented Crisis of Disconnection.
Rates of loneliness, anxiety, depression, and suicide are rising sharply. People, especially young Australians, are feeling more isolated, more overwhelmed, and more disconnected than ever before.
We’re losing connection to:
- Nature, which grounds and restores us
- Place, which shapes identity and belonging
- Community, which protects and supports us
This disconnection is undermining the development of effective leaders, weakening resilience,
and leaving entire generations ungrounded.
72% of Australian students report feeling disconnected from nature, place, and belonging. More than 50% of young Australians report feeling lonely at least once a week
Depression and anxiety are among the most common mental health challenges face by 16 to 24 year old Australians, and suicide is the leading cause of death for our young people
Life Again Exists to Break this Cycle.
By reconnecting people to Place, culture, and community, we create space for healing,
growth, and a more grounded kind of leadership.
Our Unique Role
Life Again is a Facilitator and Connector.
In trusted partnerships with Indigenous-led organisations and communities, we enable immersive, Indigenous-led experiences for schools, workplaces, and communities.
We do not teach culture. We walk beside those who hold it, respectfully connecting people ready to listen, learn, and lead.
Life Again plays an important role walking between two worlds-bringing students from the city out to Country, where real understanding begins. Not many organisations have the connections, the trust, or the willingness to do this work. What they’re doing matters-and it’s having an impact.

“We’re very appreciative of Nick’s presentation on preventative mental health, which felt topical and much needed in an ever-changing landscape. It was relevant to every individual, regardless of where they are in life’s journey. For us, creating a psychologically safe workplace is of the upmost importance and Nick’s presentation created a space for our team to comfortably share and encouraged them to continue these important conversations.”

The CVS Lane Capital Partners team was privileged to recently spend a several days working with representatives from Life Again. Program Director, Nick Columb emphasised the importance of “bringing your whole self to work” and how that contributes to greater effectiveness and productivity at work as well as creating a happier and healthier workplace. It was a unique and entirely new experience for our entire team and one that provided plenty of perspective and food for thought. Thanks to Nick, John, Ken, their families and the Life Again team for working with us.

A few days with others listening and discussing with traditional owners on their land enlightened me. I appreciate better the importance of land culture and language. It also gave me a better appreciation of the challenges faced. Meeting Johnny Liddle and some of his extended family was a real treat.

Acknowledgement of Country
We acknowledge all First Peoples of this land, their stories, traditions and living cultures. We deeply respect their intimate bond with nature, spirit and story and we must try harder to listen, for we have much to learn.
At Life Again, we live, work, and walk today on Country cared for and protected by First Peoples since time immemorial, for which we are grateful. Sovereignty was never ceded and we are committed to creating a brighter future, together.
