Clinical Care Coordinator

About Us

We are leaders in mental health service delivery, specialising in working with adults and young people, and in early childhood intervention.

Stride is a name that expresses our ambition – it’s a name that’s purposeful and shows awareness of the important role we play in the recovery journey.

About the Service

Better Connect aims to deliver comprehensive, integrated, and person-centred care across the CCQ region (Central Queensland, Wide Bay, Sunshine Coast). It addresses service gaps for the 'missing middle' by enhancing accessibility and integrating primary mental health care, psychosocial support, and early intervention. Through a hub and spoke model, specialised resources and coordination are centralised, while local spokes ensure community-based service delivery. This approach promotes holistic wellbeing by considering broader determinants of health, fostering collaboration among providers, and ensuring a sustainable, adaptable service responsive to community needs.

The consortium, led by EACH, includes eight partners: Central Queensland Indigenous Development, Flourish Australia, Gympie Women’s Health Centre, Open Minds Australia, Queensland Injectors Health Network, REFOCUS Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Services, Wellways Australia and Stride Mental Health. This diverse coalition enhances service delivery through comprehensive, community-focused care.

The psychological services for children and youth focuses on early intervention and support young people aged 5-25.
