Our Hope Centre Resi Rehab near Bairnsdale and our Lower Plenty Resi Rehab joined together recently for a fun day Olympics Day. Staff and residents competed in running and relay events, shot put, long jump, discus and high jump.
Parents brought their children along and they enjoyed the egg and spoon race and tunnel ball. Residents cooked an amazing barbeque for lunch and then the two rehabs challenged each other to a tug of war. It was a great day out for everyone.

In conjunction with Sunraysia Community Health, Mildura Base Public Hospital and Mallee District Aboriginal Services, Odyssey Victoria will be partnering to operate a Mallee based Residential Rehab. Designs for the new facility have been released.
The facility will make it easier for people across the Mallee to access treatment for alcohol and other drug use closer to home. The designs were shaped in consultation with health services, staff, consumers and the broader community to provide a welcoming inclusive and safe environment for those seeking treatment.
