healthAbility Connect Well Groups (Social Support)

At healthAbility we believe that enjoying good health is more than being physically healthy or without disease. It is about the wellbeing of a whole person, within someone's family, work and social environments.

Our professional and supportive team work together with our clients to tailor our broad range of health and wellbeing services to their unique needs. 

We help navigate pathways to get the best care and support someone needs to live well. By encouraging choice, confidence and control, we empower people along their health journey. 

As a for-purpose not-for-profit organisation we put people before profits. All of our profit is re-invested into providing and improving our quality person-centered health and wellbeing services.
