About Wellness Connect
What to expect
Using a recovery focus, we support you at the times when you need it most. An experienced mental health support worker will work beside you in your recovery.
You’ll learn strategies and develop skills that help you to:
- identify your strengths
- build healthy coping skills
- achieve your goals
- find people to help you improve your health and wellbeing
- strengthen your support networks
- stay safe.
Wellness Connect focuses on building your skills, confidence and support networks. We do not provide transport or household services such as cleaning, gardening or home maintenance.
This service is free for all participants.
- Up to 12 sessions of one-on-one support to identify goals, link into local services and supports, and build confidence and networks
- You can also attend a group-based program for up to 12 months. Groups cover three broad categories: social and recreational skills, practical skills and emotional wellbeing
- Support to test eligibility for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), including assistance to gather evidence and complete an application.
The Service Navigator is available to Wellness Connect participants as an additional support identifying relevant services and facilitating supported referrals.
Each week we run a diverse range of groups with the aim to increase confidence in social connection, build on life skills and support overall wellbeing. Groups on offer change every three months.
