Some extra government-defined programmes

As a further service to the Clubhouse community, Clubhouse has agreed to act as an agency for the following two government-defined programmes, the Day to Day Living in the Community Program and the Social Support Programme. These programmes are for people with more serious barriers to community participation. To be part of these programmes at Clubhouse requires eligibility to be a Clubhouse member.

Day to Day Living in the Community Program (D2DL)

This new program is designed for people diagnosed with mental illness who experience social isolation. It is Federally funded.

What Is Offered:

This program includes structured and socially based day activity programs which develop skills, confidence and social networks. These include relaxation groups, educational activities, social activities (to name a few).

Do You Know Someone Who's Eligible?

Do you have a client or do you know someone who has a mental illness and is socially isolated? If so, they may be eligible for the D2DL program. If you are unsure whether they do meet the criteria please check out Clubhouse's Access Policy. If you think they do meet the criteria click on one of the links below, fill in a referral form and contact Toowoomba Clubhouse.

Social Support Programme

This programme is part of the government "Home and Community Care" programme.

What Can Be Offered

The concern here is for people living in the community who are at risk of social isolation and thus in urgent need of support, because of a psychiatric disorder in conjunction with another issue.
The other issue could be

intellectual, physical or sensory disability
acquired brain injury
or a substance abuse problem.

Are You Eligible?

Contact our Clubhouse to make an appointment. We will introduce you to Clubhouse and have a chat to assess your needs and the level of risk you face without support. Unfortunately there is a waiting list for this service, but the priority of your needs will be considered. It is useful to have a referral from your General Practitioner or other health professional.
