Uniting Prahran – St Kilda Engagement Hub
The St Kilda Engagement Hub provides a safe space for people with a mental health diagnosis aged 18 and above, and is an entry point and important tool in breaking the cycle of long–term homelessness, ill health, malnutrition, and other social determinants of ill health. On–site, a dedicated team of Mental Health Support Workers is available to provide assistance to participants.
Eligibility
Eligibility is open to all individuals aged 18 and above living with a mental health diagnosis. The centre operates on a drop-in basis, and registration packs can be obtained from one of our Mental Health Support Workers between 9:00 am and 2:00 pm, Monday to Friday.
Referrals
For a referral, individuals can visit the Engagement Hub directly, receive referral documents, and have a practitioner (e.g., GP, psychiatrist, psychologist, case manager) complete the necessary paperwork, confirming their diagnosis.
