Congratulations to our CEO and Co-Founder, Joseph Healy, on the launch of his latest book, What Would Adam Smith Make of Modern Australia?

Last night we celebrated the book launch with friends, colleagues, and many important voices in the mental health sector.

At Malu, we believe in sparking important conversations, especially those that influence the mental health of our communities. Joseph’s book invites readers to reflect on the growing disparity in wealth, the shifting distribution of opportunity, and the consequences these trends are having on social cohesion and mental wellbeing.

It’s a thought-provoking and timely work that connects economic structures with human impact.

As a leader shaped by both professional experience and personal connection to mental health, Joseph reminds us why bold, values-led leadership matters, especially in times of growing divide.
