Aimee Davies, Founder The Hey Mate Project

Aimee Davies is the Founder and Managing Director of Hey Mate, a national social enterprise focused on mental health in Australia’s creative industries. With over 15 years of experience spanning the arts, health, and social impact sectors, Aimee is a leading advocate for workplace wellbeing and psychological safety in festivals, screen, and performing arts. She has worked with organisations like Brisbane Festival, Queensland Ballet, and Big Sound, providing support and training to integrate care into creative practices. Aimee was selected as a 2024 A2ELP Social Impact Leader and frequently speaks on topics such as mental health, resilience, and wellbeing in the arts and cultural sectors.

We’re a social enterprise dedicated to educating creative people and arts organisations about business skills. We help through sharing practical knowledge in a fun and irreverent way, and everything we do is designed to help creatives to feel more confident and comfortable about the entrepreneurial aspects of their creative practice. We believe that a bit of naughtiness, tempered with a kind heart and a big dose of professionalism, is the key to helping creative people understand the boring basics of business.

Hey Mate delivers mental health, wellness support, and education to the music, entertainment, performing arts, and creative industries. Their team of mental health professionals supports artists, industry professionals, companies, and the wider community to improve mental health and well-being.

Their Mission is to bring back that feel-good feeling to the community and industries we support daily through the use of industry and vocation specific support and education.
