TACFLE: The Australian Centre for Lived Experience

We are a global think tank and lived experience driven social innovation and impact organisation. At TACFLE (The Australian Centre for Lived Experience), we use Mad as a reclamation of the term, by us with lived experience, that is non diagnostic and celebrates our experiences and diversity rather than as a problem, deficit and illness. MAD Pride is our philosophy.

At TACFLE we provide a Mad informed approach based on Mad Studies in supporting you, your loved ones, community, organisation and broader systemic advocacy pursuits. We believe in lived experience leadership that is tailored to an individuals needs through identifying your goals, strengths, interests, hopes, dreams and aspirations as a person with lived experience of human vulnerability. 

We have a particular focus on frameworks such as human rights, social justice, intersectionality and Mad Informed practice in supporting you in your recovery or with your organisation.
