Who is Fraser Coast Mates?
Who We Are
Fraser Coast Mates is a community-led mental health organisation dedicated to supporting people across the Fraser Coast through connection, awareness and practical resources. We were founded by local residents who saw a growing need for open conversation, stronger support networks, and easier access to mental health information.
We believe mental health matters for everyone, regardless of age, gender or background.
Our mission is to help people find the support, understanding and connections they need, whether that’s for themselves or a mate, so no one has to face life’s challenges alone.
What We Do
At Fraser Coast Mates, we take a practical, community-led approach to supporting mental health across the Fraser Coast. We work to build awareness, reduce stigma and encourage open conversations through inclusive events, storytelling and education that help people feel less alone and more confident checking in on their mates.
We also connect people to trusted local support and provide practical tools including the Little Black Book, online resources and access to free counselling funded through community support. By working alongside local services, businesses and community groups, we aim to make mental health support easier to find, easier to understand and easier to access for everyone.
Join Us
Whether it’s by attending an event, spreading awareness, or checking in on a mate, we all have a role to play in creating a stronger, more connected community. Together, we can make a real difference.
