What a wonderful afternoon at the Women of West Heidelberg’s Biggest Morning Tea… in the afternoon! ☕💛

There was plenty of fun, food, laughter and games shared by all. With cancer touching so many people across our lives, this special community fundraiser will see $1102.50 donated to the Victorian Cancer Council to support the ongoing fight against cancer.

A big thank you to all our special guests, volunteers and community members who helped make the day such a success and raise funds for an important cause.

Today is National Sorry Day. We remember and honour the Stolen Generations — Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children who were forcibly removed from their families, Communities, Country, and culture under past government policies.

This year’s theme, From Sorry to Action, reminds us that truth-telling must be matched with action to support healing, justice, and equity for survivors, families, and Communities.

As we head into , we encourage everyone to listen, learn, and support community-led healing.

Holstep Health proudly supports the National Walk for Truth and the journey toward truth, respect and reconciliation.

We're committed to listening to and learning from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as we work to help close the health gap that exists between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and non-Indigenous people.

Travis Lovett is walking more than 800km from Naarm-Melbourne to Canberra between 19 April and 27 May to support a national truth-telling process developed in partnership with First Nations peoples.

The Walk for Truth raises awareness of the ongoing impacts of colonisation and the importance of recognition, equity and shared understanding. See how you can support: https://loom.ly/fndHFD8

🏳️‍🌈 Today is Idahobit: International Day Against LGBT+ Discrimination! We’re proud to be Rainbow Tick accredited and committed to providing safe, inclusive and welcoming care for LGBTIQA+ communities. 💜

17 May marks the day the World Health Organization (WHO) removed homosexuality from its list of mental illnesses in 1990 - an important step towards equality.

While change has been made, many LGBTIQA+ people still face discrimination and barriers when accessing healthcare.

Everyone deserves to feel safe, respected and supported, and we’re here to support you every step of the way. See more: https://loom.ly/21NmytE

We are proud to introduce a new exhibition to our Transept Gallery called 'Art as Healing: Voices against Violence.' The exhibition is presented as a partnership between the Anglican Diocese of Melbourne, Holstep Health’s Living Well Family Violence Group and St Margaret’s Church, Eltham. The artists featured come from diverse backgrounds and lived experiences. Each has been directly impacted by family violence, and many are survivors. Through their artwork, they explore themes of trauma, transformation, rebirth, and healing, offering a powerful message of hope — that resilience, strength, and faith can endure even in the aftermath of violence.

'Art as Healing: Voices against Violence' is on display until late June in the Transept Gallery. Please be aware that this exhibition contains themes of domestic violence and contains images which some people may find disturbing. Viewer and parental discretion is advised.
