Australian entrepreneurs outpace peers in proactive mental health approaches

Bupa has partnered with Australian entrepreneur Marita Cheng – founder of artificial intelligence and robotics ventures Aubot, Aipoly, and Robogals – to discuss mental health considerations among business leaders. Cheng said: “As a founder, how you show up mentally sets the tone for your whole company. When I’m well-rested, positive, and calm, that energy ripples through my team. It’s not about being endlessly strong – it’s about creating space to recharge, connect with others, and bring that steady mindset back into the business.”
