First Step St Kilda
[NAME AWAITING VERIFICATION]
Nina TAYLOR (Albert Park) (17:14): (1722) My adjournment is for the Minister for Mental Health. The action I seek is for the minister to visit First Step in St Kilda; an integrated addiction, mental health and legal services hub which provides vital support to over 1800 people each year. First Step will receive over $180,000 in the 2026–27 Victorian state budget to continue and consolidate their integrated care initiative for people using alcohol and other drugs. First Step works tirelessly to provide services such as ResetLife day rehabilitation program, the mental health integrated complex care program and counselling to NDIS participants. First Step services support incremental whole-of-life improvements which build towards the stabilisation of physical and mental health. They work to keep people connected to their families, participating in society and taking control of their own lives. First Step is exactly the kind of hub we need to provide vulnerable Victorians with all the support they want and need. I look forward to having the minister join me to see the incredible work of the First Step team. I do want to thank Scarlett Curry from MacRobertson Girls High School, a work experience student who has assisted with this adjournment today.
