Bidgerdii Wellness Hub in Rockhampton has been open to the community for just over a year, with many inroads and connections being made. The Wellness Hub is a culturally safe space for Community to access allied health, social and emotional wellbeing, as well as support services in Elder care and NDIS.
Since opening, the team has implemented many new programs and initiatives.
The Social & Emotional Wellbeing Team has held ‘Trips to Country’ on Darumbal & Gaangulu Country. These community days were well attended with Elders enjoying traditional activities and connection to Country.
Exercise Physiology has proved to be a popular activity hosted by Integrated Team Care (ITC). Every week the ITC clients hit the gym for tailored exercise to build strength and mobility or head to the pool for a gentle hydrotherapy session.
The Wellness Hub provides Elder Support Groups weekly to increase connection and reduce isolation amongst our community. Elders participate in fun activities, enjoy a lunch and have a yarn, these mornings are very popular.
The weekly visit from our Emotional Support Team (aka Willow & Peaches) is a highlight for the community and the lineup for cuddles is always a long one.
Due to the success of the Wellness Hub, services have also been extended to outreach locations in Mount Morgan and Blackwater.
