Targeted support—where it's needed most

At On Track we realise that mental illness affects more than just the individual and that’s why we provide a range of programs to support families and carers as well. On Track offers respite to consumers and carers, support to children of parents with a mental illness and community-based support groups for carers.

... needs a multi-faceted approach

Our commitment is to provide quality mental health services which support people on their journey to recovery — knowing that each journey is as unique as the individual. On Track's mental health programs ensure individuals experience optimum quality of life by providing:

  • opportunities for exercising choice and decision making
  • access to lifestyle and experience commensurate with other people in the community
  • access to appropriate skills, training or support in improving or maintaining communication skills
  • access to appropriate support services in their local communities
  • support to develop and maintain money and budgeting skills
  • assistance to plan and access recreational, educational and vocational programs.
