About Step Up/Step Down Kalgoorlie

The service offers a safe and supportive space to reduce distress and promote recovery. Our 10-bed centre offers 24-hour support. Consumers have access to a range of group and individual programs to build their confidence and skills, develop a sense of meaning and purpose, identify personal goals, and develop their own wellbeing plan. 

The service is available to people living in the Goldfields region. It is not a replacement for acute inpatient care but an option that can prevent the need for hospitalisation when people are aware that they are becoming unwell.

  • The service provides support for people who: 
  • Are aged 16 years and over (those aged 16-17 years may require additional consent). 
  • Are primarily experiencing a mental health challenge. 
  • Are able to engage cooperatively in a group setting and willing to participate in the programs offered. 
  • Are not currently experiencing homelessness.
