Sandringham College students, Can we give you a break?
Do you have someone at home with a disability, long-term illness, mental health issue or other care needs? Your daily life might include providing help with:
- cooking
- shopping
- household tasks
- paying bills
- making appointments
- assisting with care for siblings
Caring for someone can be both rewarding and challenging. Making sure you look after yourself is also important. Staff from Bayside Council would like to talk to young people to learn how we can help. We want to find out about what things might be helpful to support you both inside and outside home. Sound like you?

Wellbeing and connection map
The City of Melbourne has created a wellbeing and connection map to help you find activities, services and initiatives that support community participation, inclusion and connection.
This interactive map provides information about existing community initiatives and programs within the City of Melbourne and surrounding suburbs. It includes a variety of age and community specific programs across the following categories:
- health, wellbeing and fitness
- arts and culture
- education and lifelong learning
- social groups
- gardening
- food.
We have designed the map as part of our efforts to address and prevent forms of loneliness and social isolation linked to poor mental health and wellbeing. The map makes it easy to navigate the many fantastic community initiatives and programs we have in and around our municipality. No matter your age, background, abilities, sexual or gender identity – this map will help you find a space where you feel welcomed and supported.
