In this episode of The Work of Wellbeing podcast, Amy Green shares the story behind SWIM, her Staff Wellbeing and Improvement Membership, and why it might be exactly what your school has been looking for.

Born from years of work with schools, educators and leaders across Australia, SWIM was designed to solve a growing problem: wellbeing efforts that are inconsistent, unsustainable, and often left to one person to figure out. Amy unpacks how SWIM offers a strategic, embedded and accessible approach to staff wellbeing, with practical resources, plug-and-play workshops, leadership tools, and expert support over 16 months.

Whether you're a principal, wellbeing coordinator, team leader or staff member who simply wants to see real change, this episode explains how SWIM helps schools move beyond one-off events and into sustainable, embedded action that improves both staff wellbeing and school culture.
