Learning made better, life made easier.

We started Better Learning because we know how powerful learning can be when life feels complex or uncertain.

Our mission is simple: to empower individuals, teams, and leaders with accessible, evidence-informed learning tools that make life a little easier, help us overcome obstacles, and unlock the power that learning brings.

Meet our team.

David Shillington

Founder

I’m David Shillington, former professional rugby league player for the Roosters, Raiders, Titans, Queensland Maroons and the Australian Kangaroos. After retiring from a 16-year career in the NRL, I turned my focus to mental health education - working with the NRL to deliver wellbeing and domestic violence prevention programs across grassroots and regional communities.

I've always been passionate about developing people and creating impact beyond the field, and this work allowed me to connect deeply with communities doing it tough. It quickly became clear how many individuals, especially those facing long-term challenges, were missing out on meaningful support and connection.
