We are a not-for-profit charity evolving from the dreams of carers.
​
With the assistance of those who are as passionate about this venture as we are, we know we will succeed in fulfilling the Naradell dream.

It is our intention to meet the need for high quality facilities providing accommodation in a rural setting and an urban hub.  Both locations will offer a wide variety of activities and learning opportunities for those living with a mental health condition.

Communication, co-operation and co-ordination can achieve greater results to benefit our participants which is why we have created the Naradell Information Centre (NIC).  We are building a communication channel with other service providers and activity or training based organisations.
We hope to make a positive difference by:
​
  • providing accommodation, short term or extended term, as needed, in a caring, compassionate place;
  • providing activities to promote physical and mental health;
  • providing safe and educational practice in farm and animal care and other creative pursuits;
  • building self-confidence and self-worth;
  • building acceptance, understanding and knowledge of mental health conditions;
  • arranging opportunities to interact with other people and expand life experiences;
  • providing a service to assist in commencing or returning to work;
  • ​providing the opportunity to learn new skills.

Naradell Farm

A farm to be located in the Sunshine Coast region providing short-term or extended term accommodation, activities, education and social interaction.  The farm will also be open for day programs.

Naradell Hub

A centre to be located in the urban area of the Sunshine Coast providing activities to suit a wide range of interests & physical abilities and the opportunity to acquire skills focused on gaining, or returning to employment.  The Hub will also include the Naradell Information Centre (NIC), building a communication channel with other activity or training based organisations.

The People We Will Help

The Carers in our group live and breathe the daily challenges our loved ones face.   Collectively, we have decades of experience and knowledge in regard to mental health and are therefore very much aware of the wide gap in support.  To our knowledge, no other group or facility exists on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, focusing on mental health challenges as a full day activity centre with accommodation.
​
Similarly, no facility exists in the urban area providing a variety of activities to suit a wide range of interests and differing levels of fitness.  Many of our activities will be designed to provide a sense of purpose and achievement.  Both facilities will also provide training, education and career counselling opportunities aimed at assisting in commencement of employment, or return to employment.

The facilities and activities provided at Naradell Farm and Naradell Hub will be designed to benefit those 18 years and over living with a mental health condition and who generally fall into the following main groups of mental disorders:

​
Mood disorders (such as depression and bipolar)
Anxiety disorders (including OCD)
Psychotic disorders (such as schizophrenia)
​Trauma related disorders (such as post-traumatic stress disorder)
Our Committee
Our Committee was formed in 2018 and there were times when we felt Naradell was splashing about in a spaghetti sea of red tape.

Gradually we found those markers bobbing about, added them to our collection and are making our way to shore.
