💛 Building supports as a team!

Just like our team pyramid, mental health is strongest when it is supported by structure, trust and the whole team working together. Each person plays an important role in creating a steady foundation, lifting others up and checking in when support is needed. If you are feeling unsteady or need extra support, reaching out to a trusted colleague, leader, friend, family member, or support service can help strengthen your own foundation.

A conversation could change a life. Let’s make the time to check-in on those around us. Ask R U OK? today and every day.

🛠️ Showers out of order

Please note, showers in our centre are currently out of order and sinks and toilets currently have non-potable water coming through due to a leak in the local area. Contractors will soon be on site to work on minimising the non-potable water as Yarra Valley Water works on rectifying the issue.

We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience as we work to fix this.
