About Step Thru Care – Geelong

Providing combined supports in one place means people experiencing both mental health and substance use challenges don’t need to re-tell their stories to multiple people or services. 

The Step Thru Care team has diverse backgrounds and expertise – and includes people who have their own experience of mental health and substance use challenges.  

This helps to create a culturally safe, accessible and inclusive service. 

 

Who is this for? 

Step Thru Care supports people with low-level, mild and severe mental health needs and/or substance use challenges. 

Priority groups eligible for Step Thru Care include people: 

  • on low income 
  • living in rural and remote communities who don’t have access to other appropriate services 
  • in areas impacted by natural disaster 
  • experiencing short-term displacement or homelessness 
  • who identify as LGBTIQA+ 
  • who identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander 
  • from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds 
  • with an intellectual disability 
  • aged under 12 
  • experiencing perinatal depression 
  • experiencing or at risk of family violence.
