The origins of Newpath and our mission to close the gaps in Australia’s mental health care.

Why I Started Newpath

A Letter from Prince Singh

My name is Prince, and I am the founder of Newpath — a not-for-profit organisation born out of love, loss, and a relentless belief that the mental health system can and must do better.

At the heart of Newpath lies one unshakable truth: we need to enlighten people about mental health — not just from a social standpoint, but through a lens that truly integrates the medical and social models of care. While there are many admirable organisations working tirelessly in the mental health sector, I believe our role is to fill the space between systems — where so many individuals continue to fall through the cracks.

I lost both of my parents to mental health.

I was only nine when I lost my father. At the time, I didn’t even understand what mental health meant. It wasn’t until I migrated to this beautiful country at the age of 18 that I began to understand the depth and complexity of mental illness.

Still, the journey didn’t get easier. I lost my mother four years ago — despite being a registered nurse working in the mental health field. I had dedicated my studies and my career to understanding her pain and helping others like her. But even then, I couldn’t save her.

That loss changed me.

Working in the field, I saw first-hand how complex mental health truly is. I witnessed how disjointed our systems can be — how the tertiary medical system, designed to support acutely unwell individuals, often struggles to integrate meaningfully with the social model that supports community living, recovery, and dignity.

Whether it’s Support at Home for psychogeriatric clients, or recovery pathways for young people living with mental illness, there are persistent gaps during transitions — especially at the point of discharge. Clinicians want to do more, but they’re constrained by time, systems, and jurisdictional red tape.

Why Newpath Exist

Newpath is my response to that pain.  It is my promise that no son should lose his mother — and no mother should lose her son — because of a system that isn’t built to understand both the clinical complexities and the social realities of mental illness.

Our model is different. We aim to:

Bridge the medical and social models of care.

Work hand-in-hand with community mental health teams, hospitals, and social workers.

Employ clinicians and professionals who understand both worlds.

Design a service that supports both consumers and the clinicians who care for them.

Build a mimicable system that others can adopt — because no one service alone can change everything.

Where We’re Headed

This is more than a service. It’s a movement.

The long-term goal is to reinvest every dollar we receive back into the communities that need it most. We want to empower clinicians, social workers, and support staff who feel the pain I’ve felt, and who are passionate about changing the system — not with frustration, but with purpose.

This is not going to be easy. But then again, nothing worth doing ever is.

History shows us that the greatest social movements — whether 100 years ago or 20 — were started by people who turned their pain into purpose.I hope to walk alongside those people here in Australia, building a new path for those who need it most.

This Is the NewPath
I Choose to Walk

“Nothing worth doing is easy. But history is made by people who turn pain into purpose.”
