🍸 The Spirit of Mitcham

Some of the best ideas start with a conversation between friends.

At Dutch Rules Distilling Co., creativity, curiosity and a love of bringing people together have shaped the journey from day one. What started as a passion project has grown into a team of makers, creators and hospitality lovers who enjoy crafting memorable experiences for locals and visitors alike.

Now, they're welcoming an exciting new chapter with Head Chef Viveik Vinoharan joining the team. Recently recognised as the Good Food Guide's Young Chef of the Year, Viveik brings fresh ideas, creative flair and a passion for showcasing great food.

Together, the team are creating a place where people can gather, celebrate milestones, catch up with friends and make new memories.

Dutch Rules has become part of the local Mitcham landscape, proving that some of the best stories are shared around a table.

Finding the courage to roar 🦁

For Emma and the team at Roar Psychology, mental health care starts with one simple idea: being brave enough to be yourself.

The name “Roar” was inspired by Emma’s daughter, who loves lions. It also reflects the courage it takes for families, parents and children to ask for support when life feels overwhelming.

After running a practice in Croydon for 3 years, Emma opened Roar Psychology in Mitcham in late 2025, drawn to the accessibility of the area and the opportunity to support more local families. Together with Jess and a team of four staff, Roar focuses on helping parents, neurodivergent children and individuals navigate life in a way that feels supportive, affirming and personal.

Emma says the conversation around mental health, especially how we understand children’s brains, has changed enormously in the past five years. At Roar, the focus is on helping people thrive, not just survive.

Outside the clinic, Emma’s passions are a little more prehistoric: dinosaurs, LEGO, Harry Potter and camping along the Murray River.

And her advice for anyone thinking about starting a business?
💬 “You are so much more capable than you realise, just do it.”
