IT'S COLLECTIVE CARE—CREATIVE, CONNECTED, AND CLINICALLY AWARE
Clinicians. Connectors. Catalysts.
You care deeply.
You work upstream and downstream.
And you know—better than anyone—when the system is at capacity.
As demand grows and burnout rises, one truth becomes clear: we
can’t treat our way out of social crisis with clinical tools alone.
That’s where Creative Health comes in.
We partner with GPs, PHNs, community mental health teams,
social workers, nurses, peer workers and allied health professionals to deliver
preventative, evidence-informed, artist-led programs that address the
root causes of ill health: disconnection, stress, trauma, and isolation.
These are programs that:
Reduce pressure on emergency
services and overburdened clinics
Complement existing mental health
and AOD pathways
Activate social prescribing in
practical, meaningful ways
Build community cohesion and
personal agency
Improve outcomes through creative
participation
Creative Health is not a luxury. It’s a lever.
A lever for better engagement.
For culturally safe care.
For recovery frameworks that include joy, not just symptom management.
For upstream intervention that works before things break down.
What Does Collaboration Look Like?
Refer patients to Creative Health programs through simple,
localised pathways Co-design with artists and lived experience experts to shape appropriate
supports Train your staff or networks in the principles of socially prescribed care Partner with us to activate new pilot models Measure impact with built-in evaluation and outcomes reporting tools
From PHNs and general practice to mental health, disability, aged care, and community-led care, we collaborate with system builders across the health and wellbeing landscape.
“Co-design is not a method—it’s a mindset. In Creative Health, we don’t deliver care to communities; we create it with them. When participants, practitioners, and clinicians co-design together, we don’t just build programs—we build trust, agency, and outcomes that actually last.”
