With the right support, people can change their lives.
For over 40 years Lives Lived Well has been supporting people to live their lives well. We are a not-for-profit healthcare provider that offers evidence-based services across Queensland, New South Wales and South Australia. We specialise in supporting people with concerns related to:
- alcohol and other drugs (AOD)
- mental health
- transitioning from corrective services
- veterans’ wellbeing
- gambling.
With heartfelt dedication, we work with individuals to craft personalised plans, reduce harm, nurture recovery, and inspire positive and lasting change. We bring experience, empathy, and a judgement-free approach to every person’s journey, recognising that life is complex. Side by side, we unlock capacity for change, offering compassionate, person-centred support grounded in evidence-based clinical practices.
