At headspace Coffs Harbour, we’re proud to showcase the incredible talent of local artist Shontae, whose stunning mural now brightens our space with vibrant colour, culture and creativity.

Supporting local artists is an important part of fostering a strong and connected community, and we’re honoured to have Shontae’s work featured within our centre. The mural has already become a standout feature, bringing warmth and inspiration to our space and sparking conversations among young people, families and staff alike.

If you’re visiting headspace Coffs Harbour, be sure to take a moment to admire this beautiful artwork in person.

You can also support Shontae’s creative journey through Ngarlaa Dreaming, where a diverse collection of unique designs and merchandise is available. Through Ngarlaa Dreaming, Shontae shares original artwork that celebrates culture, creativity and connection with community.

We thank Shontae for sharing talent and vision with us and look forward to continuing to support local artists who help make our community what it is.

Acknowledgement of Lived Experience

At Health Voyage, we acknowledge and honour the many people with lived and living experience who have shaped our work through their courage, insight, and commitment. We recognise the unique value of people with lived experience of mental health and physical health challenges, distress, trauma, and recovery. Their voices and leadership are vital to the design, delivery, and evaluation of our services.

We are committed to embedding lived experience as a core driver of our service culture, supporting systems transformation, inclusive practice, and recovery-oriented care. This commitment extends to people from all backgrounds, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, LGBTQIA+ communities, people with disability, and those impacted by multiple forms of marginalisation.

We pay respect to the deep, ongoing connection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to Country, culture, and community, and we strive to be a culturally safe and inclusive organisation where all people feel respected, valued, and empowered.

This acknowledgement stands on the foundations built by those who have come before us and is designed to evolve in partnership with people with lived experience, now and into the future.
