About Neami Wollongong

Neami Wollongong provides individual recovery support to people experiencing mental health challenges in the Wollongong area.

We support you in your recovery while also strengthening your connections to your community and support networks. We work with you to identify your own strengths, values, and goals to help you to move towards the life you want.

Who is this for?

The eligibility criteria varies for our different programs. Please contact this service to discuss whether our programs are suitable for you.

What to expect

Commonwealth Psychosocial Support (CPS)

The Commonwealth Psychosocial Support Program offers non-clinical, community-based support to people living with mental health challenges.

Support is provided for 3 – 9 months and our team will work with you to identify what you want to focus on in your support. Supports include:

  • service navigation – linking with support services to meet your individual requirements, e.g. GP, psychologist, NDIS eligibility testing
  • psychosocial support – support for people to achieve the wellbeing and mental health outcomes that matter to them
  • options for in-person, telehealth, and group programs

Together Home

Neami Wollongong is a support provider for the Together Home program. The program delivers outreach support to people who are living in the local community who previously experienced homelessness. The focus of the program is to support people to sustain their tenancy and build a meaningful life in their community.

Housing and Accommodation Support Initiative (HASI)

The Housing and Accommodation Support Initiative (HASI) is a NSW Health program supporting people living in the community or leaving hospital with a mental health diagnosis.  

HASI is for people experiencing significant difficulties managing their day-to-day life and provides: 

  • practical support in the home 
  • support to access appropriate health care 
  • assistance with community-based tasks like accessing public transport and shopping 
  • personal development and support for wellbeing and mental health challenges. 

Programs at this service

We work alongside you

The way we work with people is responsive and flexible to suit you. This means being supportive and working at your pace.

We respect your choices and how you want to be supported. We work together through ups and downs and when there are no clear answers.

People’s reasons for accessing support from Neami are diverse. Our role is to support people, and we know that different people require different supports.

Our approach to guidance and support is called Collaborative Relational Practice. We use this approach in all our services and programs.

CRP reflects what people value most about us: connection, collaboration and responsive support. It also helps us to sustain our culture and values.

We value people’s knowledge about their lives, and we’ll support your rights and efforts to influence decisions that will affect you. We’re here to work with you on the things that matter to you.

We respect your choices and remain flexible in our approach. We work at your pace and tailor our support to meet your specific needs and circumstances.
