Who we are

WWH is a culturally diversified, safe and responsive service acknowledging and committed to all cultural backgrounds. In acknowledging its origins, WWH prides itself on providing specialist healing services for First Nations peoples. WWH is an authentic, genuine and accountable service provider, regularly seeking feedback and guidance from stakeholders — particularly consumers and carers — to ensure consistency with our guiding principles centred on being culturally grounded, trauma-informed and recovery-orientated.

WWH is certified to ISO9001 Quality Management Standards, the National Standards for Mental Health Services, and is registered as a NDIS Provider. As a multi-disciplined service provider, WWH prioritises staff professional supervision through internal AHPRA Board-approved supervisors and an ongoing workforce development program. WWH is a proven, highly valued service for student placements and internships.
