healthAbility At healthAbility, everyone is welcome, regardless of age, ability or stage of life. At healthAbility, good health is more than being fit or free from disease.

It’s about wellbeing in every part of life. Our teams work together to offer personalised health and wellbeing services to help you live well. Our whole-person approach works because we offer a wide range of services. We can bring together services for physical, mental, dental, and social wellbeing to suit your unique needs.

On Anzac Day, we pause to acknowledge the significance of the day and honour those who served and sacrificed for our country.

This morning at the Eltham Dawn Service, Roz Sandwell, Executive – Wellbeing and Prevention, laid a wreath on behalf of healthAbility, standing alongside the community in remembrance. The wreath was thoughtfully created by Flower Scentsation.

We thank Montmorency Eltham RSL for the opportunity to be part of this important day.
Lest we forget.

Things got a little wild when some of our Children's, Youth and Family team members - Georgia, Emma C, Samantha and Emma T, took on Guess the Animal 🐾😄

They’re just some of the friendly faces in our multidisciplinary team, which includes speech pathologists, occupational therapists, psychologists, dietitians and parenting specialists, all working together to support families with a wide range of needs.

We’re currently offering a free 15-minute phone consultation until the end of June 2026 for families with an NDIS plan or who are self-funding, so you can see if we’re the right fit for your family.

If you have concerns about your child’s communication, behaviour or emotional wellbeing and development, we're here to help.

A Minute for Mindfulness 🌿

Angie, Team Leader Counselling – Mental Health Counselling and Youth, shares a gentle mindfulness tip to help bring you back to the present.

Step outside, take a breath, and notice the fresh air, flowers or leaves around you. Using smell as a grounding tool can help create a small moment of calm in a busy day.

At healthAbility, our mental health services are person-centred and designed to support people at different stages of life and wellbeing, with services including counselling, psychology, youth mental health support, parenting and carer support, and after-hours mental health nursing.

Contact us to find out more about our mental health services.

healthAbility was excited to join a health roundtable with Premier Jacinta Allan, MP for Box Hill, Paul Hamer MP, representatives from local health providers, advocates and health workers. We had valuable discussions on improving access to services, infrastructure gaps, health worker burnout and local needs linked to liver health, dementia and prostate cancer support. We also talked about how to better promote new services designed to take pressure off our hospitals, like Urgent Care Clinics, Chemist Care Now and Virtual Emergency Care.
