Health & Wellbeing

Our Health & Wellbeing initiatives raise awareness about ways to build personal health. Providing support networks for those with health difficulties. Our core achievement has been the development of mental health partnerships between beyondblue and Rotary Tasmania. 

“”Whenever we talk about a successful expo for mental health or for health, this is the one we talk about because it’s been developed, its been a great journey.””
— Terry Davies - Corporate Manager, Australian Rotary Health
