Education Support
Health and Wellbeing Program
The Health and Wellbeing Program supports tenants to take part in sport, fitness, creative or wellbeing activities within the community.
The program helps cover costs such as registration fees, memberships, uniforms, equipment or workshops. It’s about staying active, building confidence and connecting with others.
Activities may include sport, fitness, creative or cultural programs such as tennis, football, netball, music, swimming, dance, basketball, karate or yoga.
“I signed my daughter up to netball classes. It helped to pay for the registration, uniform and even some new runners! Her confidence has improved and I love to see her being active after school with new friends.”
