selectability, officially opened the doors to its new Mackay Mental Health hub last Wednesday, on July 10 2024.
The newly established Mental Health Hub consolidates selectability’s services from three locations across Mackay into a larger and more adaptable space on River St.
Over 100 attendees, including local government representatives, service providers and community members gathered to explore what the new facility had to offer.
selectability General Manager of Mackay, Sue-Ellen Weedon said that delivering services from a central location would help to break down barriers for those seeking support.
“selectability Mackay is committed to ensuring locals have access to the high-quality mental health services they deserve,” Sue-Ellen affirmed.
“Trying to navigate mental health services is daunting for many people, so having a range of services available in one facility will allow us to better respond to community need.
“It will also bring a lot of fantastic benefits for our current consumers including more activities to choose from and extended operating hours.”
selectability delivers tailored one-on-one support and group programs like the Mackay Clubhouse, which is an initiative designed to help individuals build capacity and improve their mental well-being.
“We provide services through the NDIS and other state and federal government programs.
“You don’t need a referral - drop in and see the team, have a tour of the new Mental Health Hub and find out how we can support you,” Sue-Ellen added.
Mackay Regional Council Mayor, Greg Williamson, welcomed the opening of the new Mental Health Hub.
“It is great to have a new central location for Mackay residents to connect and access a range of vital mental wellbeing and suicide prevention services,” Cr Williamson said.
