Our Organisation
Alaya House
At our Alaya House Hub, we have created a welcoming, safe and supportive space for community members of all ages, who require specialised support for mental health issues, drug and alcohol issues, and psycho-social disabilities.
In 2019, APMHA HealthCare established our first mental health wellbeing hub located in Shepparton, Victoria. Our aim was to create a hub focused on wellness, recovery and supporting people to live a full and contributing life as determined by them. With this hub, we have created a physical presence in the region and a holistic team approach with our various funded local mental health services and workforce. Our Shepparton hub includes:
- High quality mental health services (Psychological Therapy Services (PTS), Clinical Care Coordination (PMHCC), HeadtoHelp Program, NavLife Bupa Program and Medicare billing services).
- General Practice and Nurse Practitioner Wellbeing services, with a specific focus on pharmacotherapy, mental health and general medicine.
- Group therapy and psychosocial education programs for clients.
- Workforce and community education delivered in our dedicated training room.
