Community Engagement Hub

Gladstone Mindcare are excited to announce that we have been nominated for the 2026 Gladstone Regional Councils Australia Day Awards in the Community Event Award category for our Queensland Mental Health Week event 'Gladstone Mindcare Community Connect' in October 2025.

The Community Event Award recognises the outstanding achievement by an individual or group that have delivered community events that generate civic pride and connect our community.

Our annual Queensland Mental Health Week event once again brought together local Mental Health and Wellbeing services to showcase their incredible work to the Gladstone community. Attendees enjoyed a vibrant program featuring a local art exhibition, a book launch from a talented local author, inspiring lived experience speakers, a free BBQ lunch, and engaging activities at each of the service stalls.

With over 20 stallholders, more than 250 community members in attendance, and visits from local councillors and state MPs, the day was a true celebration of community connection and support. We are deeply grateful for the nomination and the opportunity to shine a spotlight on mental health and wellbeing in our region!
