We are a bit excited to share that
The Blue Hub has a new therapist starting with us soon!
Details to follow in the coming days.
We just love growing our team and expanding opportunities for our Swan Hill and Kerang communities.

And while we are sad to see our current Social Work student, Robbie finish his placement we are also as proud as can be to know that as a new grad: Qualified Social Worker he will go on to bigger and better things in his future; wherever that journey takes him.

Feb 2026 will also see us welcome another final year student for their 500 hour placement so our little Blue Hub will continue to be a place of growth, learning and healing for our communities.

It’s a great opportunity to be able to share in the next generation of Social Workers & Mental Health Therapist, and as we mentor & teach we also learn.. the journey never ends!

Sorry in advance for the reminder that Christmas is not far off.
We are looking at putting together a cookbook before Christmas. The proceeds of this will be used to help subsidise much needed assessments for our local school kids (& adults) who would otherwise slip through the gaps.
We are keen to add your favourite recipes to our book. Feel free to send your favourite recipe ideas through. If you have a special low cost dinner recipe or 2 we would love these for our special family budget friendly section

Children with autism who rely on the NDIS for support will be diverted to a new program, touted by disability groups as a "once-in-a-generation" reform.
