About Us

– healthy minds, thriving communities –

New Mornings is a community mental health support organisation with a vision to see thriving, productive, northwest Tasmanian communities with excellent mental health. We provide a range of community-based mental health support programs to adults and children to increase wellbeing, resilience, and self-esteem. This includes a focus on complex mental health, individuals who are isolated, marginalised or most vulnerable. Our committed army of volunteers include people from many different backgrounds and experiences and are supported by our professional staff and Clinical Support Team, they are making a difference in our communities every day.

New Mornings’ work in the community is supported through the generous donations and ongoing financial commitments of local businesses, community groups and individuals as well as ongoing funding partnerships with organisations such as Olive Road and government funded bodies.

Our beginnings are founded on Christian values to show compassion, love, and acceptance to every person, believing that they are valued and worthy of the opportunity to have a future and a hope. These values continue to be at the core of our organisation to this day.
