OUR MISSION
To support people in their inner growth through connection, transformation, storytelling, and holistic health and wellbeing practices.
WHAT WE DO
DIIGG Wellbeing is a Surf Coast–based not-for-profit organisation with Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status.
We create experiences and programs that strengthen individuals, leaders, and communities — helping people connect more deeply to themselves, to others, and to the world around them.
Our work spans schools, workplaces, sporting clubs, and the wider community—creating opportunities for growth, reflection, and resilience through holistic health and wellbeing, education, and authentic connection
The Bigger Picture
When you engage with DIIGG, you’re contributing to something larger than a single program. Every workshop, camp, and event directly supports community initiatives — including men’s and women’s circles, parent programs, youth mentorship, and wellbeing events across Geelong, Bellarine, and the Surf Coast.
Together, we’re fostering a culture where people of all ages and backgrounds don’t just survive — they thrive.
From Promise to Purpose
Michael “Juddy” and Trish Judd both proud parents residing in the township of Torquay Victoria located on the Great Ocean Road in the Surf Coast Shire Victoria had their world rocked as their middle child, Estella, bravely fought brain cancer for over 2 years, losing her battle at the tender young age of 8 years old at the end of May 2020.
In Estella's final hour, Juddy promised his daughter that he was going to do something great and help other people as the local community, work colleagues, family and friends had loved on him and his family. Juddy wasn't clear how he was going to help people, but had made a promise that he must keep!
Through authentic connection, Juddy co-created supportive spaces with others enabling stories to be shared being seen and heard.
In his spare time, Juddy worked on a framework for a men's group, and after sharing that framework with friends was encouraged to take imperfect action and start.
Internally he was fighting paralysis by analysis….
In June 2022, Juddy was invited to a team dinner with his company CEO and executive leadership team.
On the night, Juddy connected with the company CEO, sharing his hero’s journey, the promise he had made to his daughter and the framework he had been working on.
The CEO said, “Juddy why haven’t you started?”
“Just start and keep me updated!”
Juddy left the night inspired and first thing the next morning bumped into the CEO at a local coffee shop.
The CEO said “Remember what I said last night, just start and keep me updated!”
And that’s what Juddy did and continues to do with an ever growing tribe of mentors who share a united vision for humans to survive and thrive being healthy, wealthy, wise.
