Sole trader peer support service

Support that meets men where they are.

We aim to support men at every stage of life — from adolescents seeking guidance and direction, to adults managing life pressures and mental health challenges, through to older men who may experience isolation and require ongoing health and wellbeing support.

Supporting NDIS participants (self-managed & plan-managed) & private clients. We aim to create a space that values privacy & confidentiality and an approach without pressure or judgement.

About

A grounded and respectful approach

As someone who has first-hand experience battling, navigating, and working toward healing from mental health challenges and mental illness, I understand how difficult and complex that journey can be.

Through my own experience, including time spent in hospital, community and rehab environments, I’ve worked hard on my mental health — learning how to build routines, find the right support systems, and navigate important steps from accessing effective services to finding suitable medication and everything in between.

Rush Connect & Care is built around that lived understanding. The focus is on providing genuine, consistent, and approachable support that feels safe and relatable — not clinical or disconnected.

The approach is simple: listen well, build trust, and support each person in taking the next manageable step forward at their own pace.
