About Us

About Better Connect

In 2024, Better Connect was launched providing people in the Central Queensland, Wide Bay and Sunshine Coast regions with access to mental health, alcohol and other drugs, and suicide prevention services. 

The service, consisting of nine established community providers and led by health and social care services organisation Each, supports people by connecting them with the right services for their individual needs, taking away the additional burden of navigating a complex health system to find the care they need.

People can also access Better Connect services through any of our consortium members, who will find the right Better Connect service for their needs.
