Our Current Projects
& Involvement
Funded by the Queensland Mental Health Commission’s Better Futures Grant, WISECARER is a program co-designed with and for carers. It looks to pair participants with dedicated Link Worker support, empowering them with digital tools designed to support navigating the complex landscape of carer support and connecting them with meaningful, community-based resources.
WISECARER doesn’t offer generic wellbeing advice - it delivers practical, real-world solutions grounded in lived experience, designed to reduce isolation, build confidence, and give carers the support they wish they’d had from the very beginning.
WISECARER
Overview
WISECARER transforms the carer experience by delivering targeted support, practical tools, and personalised guidance to build resilience and reduce burnout.
Part of a national initiative led in collaboration with ASPIRE, Sports on Prescription is a pilot program that uses community sport and active recreation as a targeted social prescribing intervention.
Designed to improve health and social outcomes, the program supports participants with low-to-moderate needs by connecting them to physical activity options that match their interests and capacity. Through a dedicated support pathway, participants are guided from initial referral through to participation, with a focus on reducing isolation, building confidence, and promoting sustainable engagement in local activities.
Overview
Sports on Prescription empowers individuals to improve their wellbeing through structured, community-based physical activity, delivered with personalised support and social connection.
SPORTS ON PRESCRIPTION
Delivered in partnership with Southern Cross University and PCCS, NatureLink is a bold new approach to social prescribing that connects people with structured, local outdoor experiences—from bushwalks to coastal activities. Guided by a trained Link Worker, participants are supported to explore nature in ways that are safe, welcoming, and tailored to their needs.
The program blends hands-on engagement with a robust research and evaluation framework to understand what works and why. NatureLink is about more than getting outside—it’s about embedding nature into mainstream care as a sustainable, evidence-driven solution to improve health and quality of life.
NATURELINK
Overview
NatureLink taps into the proven benefits of outdoor activity to improve wellbeing, using green and blue spaces as powerful tools for social connection and recovery.
Led by ASPIRE and backed by the Queensland Government, the Queensland Social Prescribing Trial is delivering one of Australia’s most ambitious, place-based social prescribing initiatives.
Working through ten Neighbourhood Centres across the state, each site is leading its own process - mapping needs, identifying strengths, and designing social prescribing models that reflect local voices and priorities.
Every referral pathway, service offering, and community connection is shaped by the people it is intended to support, with a strong focus on addressing loneliness, disconnection, and unmet needs among children and families. Link Workers support participants to access meaningful, non-clinical support through local organisations, services, and activities.
By embedding co-design at every level, the trial is building scalable, sustainable models that demonstrate what genuine community-led care can look like across Queensland and beyond.
