Community Engagement Hub

Welcome to our new Administration Officer

This week we welcomed Sarah, our new Administration Officer.

Sarah is the friendly face you will see when you visit us at Gladstone Mindcare.

A bit about Sarah - she is a mum to three awesome humans, loves knitting and going to the beach. Sarah is excited to become part of the Gladstone Mindcare team and be involved in improving the mental health and wellbeing of our community.

Qld Mental Health Week Community Connect Event

Gladstone Mindcare Hub Official Launch

The Gladstone Mindcare Hub was officially launched this week.  We celebrated this milestone with our supporters and service providers, showing them around and recognising their valuable contributions to making the Gladstone Mindcare Hub possible. 

Launch of our Website!

We are excited to launch our new website. But this is not just any website, it’s an online community where the residents of Gladstone can engage with us and each other, become Changemakers by getting involved in our work to improve mental health, alcohol and other drugs for our region and obtain information, advice and referral to support.  Explore our site, register and get involved!

Refurbishment works commence

We are excited to announce that refurbishment works have commenced to fit out the Gladstone Mindcare Hub in preparation to open to the Gladstone community.  Following community consultation and planning, these works will see the building transform into a safe and inclusive community centre with space for social connection and health promotion activities, installation of Disability accessible amenities and consult rooms and offices.

Gladstone Mindcare Working Bee

Our first Working Bee was held on Saturday, 10 October 2020 with 31 people coming to volunteer their time, effort and energy.  It was a wonderful, family oriented day where we worked together to make the Gladstone Mindcare Hub beautiful. We are so very grateful for the help and support and look forward to continuing to work together to improve the mental health and wellbeing of the Gladstone community.

We will be holding further Working Bees in the near future and welcome anyone who would like to lend a hand to make this community space a place where everyone contributes, matters and belongs.
