Meet Tandi Co-Founder, T&N Consulting
A subject matter expert in multicultural mental health, health equity and intercultural leadership.

Tandi is a Zimbabwe-born, award-winning mental health nurse leader, strategist and global speaker with two decades of experience across clinical practice, policy, workforce transformation and government advisory work in Australia and the UK. She is deeply committed to mental health, social justice and health equity, and has been instrumental in addressing mental health inequalities across diaspora communities.

Tandi is the creator of the Intercultural Impact Framework™, a leadership and governance model she developed to help organisations turn lived experience, community insight and intercultural dialogue into accountable, measurable action.

As a registered mental health nurse with extensive experience across diverse mental health settings, Tandi brings clinical credibility together with lived experience as a migrant and mental-health advocate, grounding her work in the understanding that communities should not be asked to adapt to systems that consistently fail to understand them.

Tandi has served as an expert advisor on multiple government and non-profit panels, and was a named subject matter expert advisor on the Multicultural Mental Health Framework, Australia’s first framework of its kind. Her role bridged the gap between policy and practice, ensuring mental health services are both inclusive and practically implementable, particularly in low-resource settings. This work sits alongside her role as Co-Chairperson of the Mental Health Recovery Colleges with the Mental Health Commission of Western Australia, where she delivered the business case that established Recovery Colleges across the state.
A seasoned facilitator, Tandi has delivered workshops and consultations across schools, community organisations and government bodies on mental health strategy development, service reviews and workforce training. She has presented at prestigious international forums including the G200 Youth Summit in Dubai, advocating for improved mental health services for migrants and refugees, extending her expertise onto a global policy stage. Her speaking engagements in 2026 include the Global Mental Health Summit (October 2026) and the British Psychological Society Community Psychology Festival 2026.
Tandi has developed and delivered impactful mental health and substance-misuse harm-reduction programmes to schools, colleges, sports clubs, government agencies and NGOs, creating spaces for open dialogue around mental health challenges and harm-reduction strategies. Her collaborations with organisations including the Metropolitan Migrant Resource Centre, ISHAR Multicultural Women’s Centre and Richmond Wellbeing have been central to her work in capacity building and workforce development, always co-designing with communities to ensure services are sustainable, culturally appropriate and meet the specific needs of the populations they serve. This reflects T&N Consulting’s core principle: “nothing about us without us.”
