What’s on this Youth Week?
Hear from our Community Development Officer, Byron, from Headspace Newcastle as he shares everything happening this week for Youth Week and the school holidays 🙌
From creative activities to ways to connect with others, there’s something for everyone. It’s a great chance for young people in our community to get involved, try something new and have some fun in a safe and supportive space.

This week’s First Nations face-to-face Shared Health Appointment highlighted the power of shared space and connection. Lukkas, Aboriginal Health Worker, and Zanita, Group Facilitator, did an amazing job facilitating a respectful and meaningful cultural discussion for the 11 participants and 2 carers who attended. These appointments are offered as part of our Care Coordination & Supplementary Services program.
A special moment came from Kim, who is celebrating her first week of retirement and brought in a cake to thank the Hunter Primary Care team for their support. Kim reflected on how early support through our program helped her get her health back on track and reach her long-term goals.
Another meaningful First Nations group catch up, showing just how important peer support and connection are within this community ❤️💛🖤

We had a great evening at Soul Hub Newcastle this week celebrating an important milestone for our team and community. We were proud to recognise eight Hunter Primary Care staff who have recently completed the Open Dialogue Centre’s Foundation Course, an exciting step in bringing this collaborative, relationship-focused approach to mental healthcare to our region.
It was fantastic to be joined by the team from the Open Dialogue Centre, along with local partners and organisations, to connect, share and explore what Open Dialogue could mean for our community.
Thank you to the Hunter New England Central Coast Primary Health Network for supporting this work and helping us strengthen connected, person-centred care across the region.
