Learn more about our services

Counselling & psychology

We offer free therapy and support to Tablelanders. We welcome everyone from families with children under the age of 18, young people under the age of 25, people dealing with issues around alcohol and other drugs to Seniors and beyond. Better Together's team of professional and qualified psychologists will be able to help using evidence-based methods and knowledge. We also accept Medicare Better Access referrals which are available from your GP.
You don't have to go it alone... we can help you be better, together.

Keeping seniors safe at home

We specialise in helping people stay in their homes for longer. Our Home Maintenance and Modifications department has tradesmen who are appropriately certified with years of experience behind them and include a carpenter and electrician. Examples of work we do include installation of ramps and shower rails, levelling steps to changing light bulbs and taps. We accept referrals from My Aged Care to do this work at minimum cost. We also have a specialist social worker who ensures the wellbeing of the elderly.

Services for young people

We welcome young people under the age of 25 to all of our services. While we have specialised counselling available for substance use, our counselling team is available for all concerns. Children (up to 18) do not have to be living with the parent to access our services and any young person with issues around alcohol and other drugs can access our services.

Is it time for meaningful work?

Our volunteers are pretty special. While many come to us for professional reasons e.g. re-entering the workforce, just as many stay for the camaraderie, friendship and sheer joy of selflessness. If you are a student and would like to expand your horizon with a placement, we'd also love to have a conversation. If you would like to enrich your life with the beauty of volunteerism, then we're here to listen and figure out the best ways to put your talents and experience to good use. Because we're always better... together.

Let's talk

The joy of community

Better Together often holds community events for Tablelanders. If you would like to know more about how to participate, such as volunteering for the event, please get in touch with us. If you are another community group and would like to collaborate with us, we are more than happy to have a conversation. To know more about what we do and upcoming events, please follow us on Facebook.

Better Together, here to help

Our story began way back in 1986 when a group of really committed Tablelanders got together to start a community organisation that would help give information and advice to anyone who needed it. Through the years, we’ve added more services like counselling and case management, but we remain committed to our core vision: strengthening community through our services.
People come to us for many reasons:
