Meet Our Director
Michael Spark is a Clinical Psychologist and the Managing Director of Compass Australia.
Michael brings a diverse background, starting his career in the steel and mining industries before dedicating his life to supporting others through high-risk youth respite and stabilisation services, disability care, and research. He then pursued his passion for mental health, becoming a clinical psychologist with experience across hospitals, multidisciplinary child disability services, geriatric care, and university counselling settings.
Michael finds humour to be an invaluable tool in navigating difficult conversations and fosters a practice built on genuine connection and professionalism—principles that also guide how he leads the business.
Outside of work, Michael is an avid adventurer, enjoying rock climbing, dirt biking, snorkelling, and exploring the outdoors. His strong volunteer background includes working with youth, men's groups, event organising, motocross track management, and leading community service teams across South Australia, Victoria, and the Northern Territory. He has also maintained a special connection with Indigenous artists in Alice Springs. With this breadth of experience, Michael is dedicated to creating a supportive, innovative environment where mental wellness and connection thrive.
Compass Australia Values
-
People wear enough masks in life; we try to ensure that ours is at least one space in your world where that isn't needed.
-
Trying to help without a science-based approach, appropriate training, and experience; although well-meaning, can be dangerous. We are committed to the idea of 'do no harm'.
-
Connection is the profound challenge in life. We hope to aid in the journey of believing in one's worthiness of connection; as well as the processes of obtaining, maintaining, and strengthening those connections.
