Thank you to the Shepparton News for recognising our fourth annual event, for the first time being hosted in community.
To Josh from the Mental Health Wellbeing Local, we all took something powerful away from your inspiring talk on your own lived experience and we thank you so deeply for being our guest speaker in 2026.
Thank you to the incredible team at South Shepparton Community Centre Inc. for partnering with us this year and for making the day so outstanding.

Your group chat thinks you should quit your job.

We’re not getting involved in that. 👀

We’re just letting you know that Primary Care Connect has some pretty great opportunities available right now…

Do with that information what you will. 😏

💙 We’re at the Shepparton Winter City Market today!

Among the food, shopping and entertainment, you’ll also find the MIND and PCC Distress Support Service (DSS) team — ready for a chat, to answer your questions, or simply let you know what support is available.

If you’ve been feeling stressed, overwhelmed or finding things a little harder than usual, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Sometimes, reaching out starts with a simple conversation.

📍 Maude Street, Shepparton
⏰ We’re here until 6pm today

Come down, enjoy everything the Winter City Market has to offer and pop by our stall to say hello! 👋💜

📣 Careers, conversations and a few Chupa Chups along the way! 🍭

Yesterday, Primary Care Connect joined hundreds of students, job seekers and community members at the GOTAFE Careers & Futures Expo in Shepparton.

Arkid and Tamara from our Gambler’s Help and Distress Support Service teams were there representing PCC, chatting with people about the many different career pathways available across community health — and the opportunity to build a career that genuinely makes a difference.

From counselling and health services to community development, administration, communications and everything in between, there’s a lot more to community health than you might think.

A big thank you to everyone who stopped by our stand, had a chat, picked up a Careers Guide (or a Chupa Chup! 😄) and discovered a little more about what we do.

And of course, thanks to GOTAFE for bringing together local employers, educators and our next generation of workers for such a fantastic event. 💜💙

🚨 THIS THURSDAY: It’s time to remember. It’s time to act.

There’s still time to register for Primary Care Connect’s fourth annual End Overdose event — and this year, we’re taking the conversation into community.

💜 Thursday 27 August
⏰ 12pm–3pm
📍 South Shepparton Community Centre

Held in the lead-up to International Overdose Awareness Day, is about remembering the lives we’ve lost, challenging the stigma that still surrounds overdose — and sharing practical knowledge that can save a life.

This year we’re putting a strong spotlight on naloxone: a medicine that can temporarily reverse an opioid overdose.

Come along and learn how to recognise and respond to an overdose, find out how to access FREE naloxone, hear from guest speakers, connect with local services and enjoy a BBQ, activities and more.

And you don’t need to have been personally affected by overdose to come.

This is a community event, for our community. Everyone is welcome. Everyone matters.

💙 Bring a friend. Bring your questions. Come for lunch. Leave knowing something that could one day save a life.
