New Healthy Futures Hub to boost community health and wellbeing

Published on 18 September 2023

In an event last month, Mayor Nathan Conroy and St Kilda Football Club CEO Simon Lethlean officially opened the hub, home to 12 organisations offering a wide range of services in learning, wellbeing and physical health.

With community sports, dentists, occupational therapists, NDIS providers, physios and more, the Healthy Futures Hub prides itself on being accessible to everyone, regardless of age or ability.

At the opening event, Mayor Nathan Conroy spoke to Frankston City’s vibrant future as the economic hub of the south east, with the best healthcare, transport and education in the region.

“The Healthy Futures Hub is not only a significant step forward for the health and wellbeing of our community, but it also has the potential to drive economic growth in the region. By promoting health and wellbeing, we are creating a more productive and engaged community and attracting businesses and residents who value an active and healthy lifestyle.”

The benefits of co-locating health services are already being felt by the community. Parents attending the Belvedere Community Centre playgroups are now accessing swimming lessons for their children from the same site, and vice versa.

Providers within the hub are also working together, with Monash University Occupational Therapy Students undertaking fieldwork and research projects addressing real community issues through other hub partners such as Guide Dogs Victoria and disability support services Wallara and Everyday Independence.

The Healthy Futures Hub is the perfect place to grab a coffee, attend a yoga class, or book your next dental appointment. Healthy Futures Hub, 151 East Rd, Seaford.
