What is Clubhouse?

Toowoomba Clubhouse was established in 1996 to help address a shortage of mental health services for people in the Toowoomba Community. It has a non-institutional, restorative environment within which people support each other in the process of rebuilding self-confidence, work practices and social skills to help them develop the confidence necessary to live satisfying and productive lives within the local community. We are based on the International Centre for Clubhouse Development (ICCD) model www.iccd.org and have been certified since 2011.

When you come to clubhouse you are encouraged to take part in one of our two work units which include the Frontline and Outback Units. Every activity you participate in goes to benefiting members like yourself at clubhouse.

Whilst members in the Outback Unit grow the fruit and vegetables that are used to make daily lunches, or even make great coffee in our Cafe, members in the Frontline Unit are busy paying the bills, writing the cheques, editing the newsletter and keeping the filing up to date.

Clubhouse also has a Housing Program to assist members with housing issues, and a very active Employment & Education Program assisting members to gain access to work and/or study opportunities. The golden rule at clubhouse is that members get to take part in everything!
