The Centre of Excellence (CoE) is being established to support Beyond Blue in its transformation to becoming more community centric.

The CoE will support the Lines of Business to achieve their strategy with frameworks and tools to incubate and accelerate best-in-class experiences, products & services for the community, through agile and iterative design and its trial, through to launch and scale.
