About RaggAhmed

RaggAhmed is a health and communications consultancy that was established in 2005. We offer writing, editing and publishing services to governments, universities and non-government organisations in health and social services. We provide consultancy services, including strategic planning, communications advice and research. And we deliver professional development programs in scientific writing, communications and oral presentation skills.

We are based in Sydney, but work with clients across Australia and in Asia. 

Our unique combination of excellent communication skills, a broad and deep knowledge of health and expertise in project management allows us to provide full-service support from strategic planning and research, through to the development of communications resources, project implementation and evaluation.

We have a particular interest in:

  • mental health
  • public health
  • health promotion 
  • consumer health literacy
  • cross-cultural issues
  • effective communication.

We work only with clients who have the public good at heart.

 

How are we different?

Well, we start from the endpoint. What are you trying to achieve? What do you want to change?

We work in partnership with the client, but always keep the ultimate audience in mind. Our work is not only accurate, but contains the nuances and subtleties demanded in health.

Latest events


Mental health matters

 

 

Mental illness is as common as cancer and cardiovascular disease, affecting nearly one in two Australians. Our new report Mental health matters shows that it has an enormous impact on society. It often starts in adolescence and many people affected get little or no mental health care.

 

With a foreword written by Professor Pat McGorry AO from The University of Melbourne, the report demonstrates the difficulties people living with mental health face in plain language and accessible graphs.

 

Mental health matters is the second report in RaggAhmed's snapshot series that addresses issues of public interest. Our first was Fine, but not fair.

Tanya Ahmed, RaggAhmed principal, has recently been awarded a fellowship in leadership, advocacy and management from the NSW Institute of Psychiatry. Her primary role will be to provide support and leadership for staff who are addressing smoking in NSW mental health services.
