The Recovery Program is a unique eight week residential course which provides a wide range of supports and skills development for people with mental health issues who are ready to take the next steps in their recovery journey.

The purpose-built unit has a welcoming and friendly feel with lots of great spaces to join in workshops and group activities as well as spend time working individually with our recovery specialists. We welcome people from anywhere in the Murrumbidgee catchment area.

The Recovery program was developed from consumer feedback and covers a wide variety of subjects to help people the build the skills and strengths they need to make progress with their recovery.

Participants are at the centre of everything that happens in the program and are encouraged to identify their own goals, write their own reports and even run their own meetings.

The Recovery Program team works together to provide professional support, care coordination and guidance to participants. The team includes a range of mental health professionals including Social Workers, Occupational Therapists, Psychiatrists, Peer Support Workers and Dietitians.

At the Recovery Program, we work closely with our participants and are always keen to hear their feedback and ideas for the program.

Over the past 12 months, past participants and other members of our community interested in the program have shared their experiences and ideas in a survey on this page. Thank you to all those who took the time to share their comments with us.

As well as helping us understand what people want from the program, and what is most important to our participants, these perspectives have also helped inform the new Model of Care for the Recovery Program.

A Model of Care is an important document which guides the purpose of a service and guides the practice of staff in that service. It sets out what we expect from good quality care, as well as practical things about the service such as referral pathways, operating hours, criteria for admission and the type of treatment and support provided.

We are now finalising this document and will share an update on that work with those who have participated in the survey.
