We understand the importance of mental health and wellbeing as a foundation for a thriving community. Our Mental Health and Wellbeing section provides information on local services, including the Gippsland Mental Health and Wellbeing Hubs, which offer accessible, no-referral-needed support to residents. We are committed to reducing barriers to mental health care, ensuring that everyone, regardless of age or background, can access the help they need in times of distress.
Building strong community connections is a cornerstone of our vision for an inclusive and vibrant community. Our Connection services are designed to bring people together through social events, community groups, and volunteering opportunities. Central to this effort is our comprehensive Community Directory, a valuable resource that helps residents find local organisations, services and activities that align with their interests and needs. Whether you’re looking to join a club, volunteer, or simply connect with like-minded individuals, the Community Directory is your gateway to engaging with our community.
Fostering lifelong learning and educational excellence across our community. Our Education services provide support for all stages of learning, from early childhood programs to adult education initiatives. We partner with local schools, vocational institutions, and libraries to ensure that residents have access to high-quality educational resources and opportunities. Whether you’re a student seeking academic support or an adult looking to upskill, our services are designed to help you achieve your learning goals and contribute meaningfully to the community.
Youth and Family Support services are designed to empower young people through education, engagement and community involvement. From youth programs that foster leadership and personal growth to guiding community to family counseling services that strengthen relationships, we are committed to creating a supportive environment where every young person can thrive.
