New Indigenous support and mental health service in the Mackay region

Growth Advance Techniques is a newly formed company offering Indigenous support and mental health services in the Mackay region.

Run by our Mob for our Mob means that Growth Advance Techniques will deliver culturally appropriate care and advocacy from our Indigenous Workers. Our team is highly qualified with over 20 years collaborative experience in Government and service delivery, as well as relevant accreditation for each service.

We can recognise certain behavioural patterns and empathise the issues affecting mental health in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, and effectively be able to be a cultural broker between communities, service providers, and mainstream.

We specialise in facilitating self-knowledge, emotional acceptance and growth, and optimal development of personal resources. We assist clients to work towards their personal goals and gain greater insight into their lives.

We take great pride in the progress and success of our participants and service in line with our core values.

We collaborate with other services providers such as Integrated Team, linking eligible participants with free transport to be able to attend our sessions, as well as medical and health appointments.

Services includes:

  • Psychosocial Recovery Coaching
  • Indigenous Care Coordination
  • Indigenous Outreach / Support Worker
  • Business Facilitated Cultural Awareness Training
