About Highway Foundation
Highway Foundation is an award-winning charity dedicated to helping people across Australia overcome loneliness, find inner peace, and gain clarity in their lives. We create safe, meaningful spaces where people can connect, reflect, and feel truly heard.
Our Approach
During Melbourne’s first COVID lockdown, young people started asking deeper questions about purpose, identity, and belonging. Lela McGregor (founder & CEO), a life coach and international wellbeing educator, noticed a pattern—young people weren’t looking for advice, they were looking for space to be heard. Seeing the gap, she began shaping a new approach to youth wellbeing.
Highway Foundation became a registered charity, allowing it to receive donations and expand its reach. Approved for DGR (Deductible Gift Recipient) Status.
Our first cohort successfully graduated to be certified & a network of trained facilitators was established to hold space for young people.
The first peer-led group sessions and 1-on-1 support programs were launched. These programs provided a new, non-clinical pathway for youth to explore their inner world without pressure or judgment.
Today, Highway Foundation has journeyed alongside over 3,000 young people, offering them the space to be seen, heard, and empowered. And this is just the beginning!
