Alcohol and other drug addiction can negatively affect all aspects of your life as well as those around you and the wider community. Uniting Vic.Tas offers a variety of different services from counselling, harm reduction programs, detox, rehabilitation, home based withdrawl and additional family support services. We also provide tailored support for Aboriginal and Indigenous people.
Horsham social support is here to help others connect with those around them, and join in helping others connect. Social support focuses on new skills, creating a network with like-minded people, and building each other’s confidence.
In times of crisis, Uniting can provide you with emergency relief services. Whether you require food or fuel vouchers, non-perishable items, material relief or information on available community supports we’re here to help.
The Christian Emergency Food Centre in Horsham and Stawell Uniting Church are emergency relief access points that can assist with food, vouchers, bills and general expense assistance.
As a registered provider under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), we offer our services to those living with a disability. Through our support coordination services, we can assist with navigating the NDIS and getting the most of your allocated funding.
At our Baillie Street location, there is a dedicated Uniting Vic.Tas NDIS support coordinator to help create, explain, and action your tailored plan. We also offer disability supported independent living and short term accommodation (respite) with both long and short term programs available.
There are opportunities to develop new skills on site like cooking, computing, and budgeting, as well as meeting new people and connect with the local community through our social inclusion support day program.

For some students, it’s easy to become disengaged with school and for attendance to rapidly drop. Our school engagement programs work with students in primary and secondary who are at risk of disengagement. Our programs encourage confidence and build on children’s strengths, enabling them to reconnect with their school community and find a renewed interest in their education.
