Salt Care

Salt Care have a variety of services that work together seamlessly to provide a holistic ‘wrap around’ approach to addressing the needs in our community.

Salt Assisted Housing

Salt Assisted Housing provides a safe haven for people who are transitioning from crisis accommodation to independent living. We offer a tiered support system to guests for a short, medium, or long term period of time, dependent on individual needs. Each individual or family is pastorally supported and cared for and connected to the broader Salt Community.

Salt utilises people on in the WDO program in Saltbox and our Salt Store.
