Community programs and services

The Health & Wellbeing Guide has been created by the City of Mandurah to connect you to services that encourage and improve mental health and wellbeing.

We all feel better when we belong.

All Mandurah residents are encouraged to get neighbourly and connect with their neighbours.

There are a number of tools and resources available to help residents connect with their neighbours. Check out some tips and programs below and commit to touching base with your neighbours today.

Research has shown connecting with your neighbours is important for a number of reasons, including:

• reducing social isolation and loneliness,
• building informal social support networks,
• sharing of local knowledge,
• reducing crime and increasing reporting of suspicious activities, and
• positive mental outcomes.

Street Mates Mandurah

The City of Mandurah has developed 'Street Mates Mandurah', a neighbour resource pack with simple tips and ideas for connecting with your neighbours.

The Neighbour Resource Pack contains:

• Steps for being more neighbourly
• ‘How’ and ‘Why’ to have a street party
• Sample invites, name tags and fun activities to help you plan a neighbour event
• ‘Get to know your neighbour’ fridge magnets
• Information on neighbourhood safety
• Bin stickers

Register for your pack by emailing cdo@mandurah.wa.gov.au and collect your pack from the Mandurah, Falcon or Lakelands Library.

The City of Mandurah supports a Multicultural Networking Group that meet quarterly. For further information and to join the group please email cdo@mandurah.wa.gov.au

The City's libraries also host conversational English classes across the Library facilities. For further information on session times, please contact a staff member at manlib@mandurah.wa.gov.au or phone 9550 3650.

As an addition to our fantastic Volunteer Lifeguard Services from our local surf clubs, Surf Lifesaving WA will be patrolling Mandurah's beaches again this summer. 

This service has been designed to increase beach patrol services for the community in order to keep families, community members and visitors safe at our local beaches.
