The Living Room The Living Room is a primary health service that provides free healthcare and support to improve the physical, mental and social well-being of individuals who are, or at risk of experiencing homelessness. Free, confidential, and judgment-free support in a safe and supportive environment. The only service of its kind in Melbourne focused on the social determinants of health to look beyond disease or illness, to see a person's overall situation. Our multi-disciplinary team works with individuals to identify goals and focus on harm minimisation, self-determination, and empowerment. The Living Room is now re-open on Hosier Lane! Some services may be affected by re-opening from 07 – 11 November 2022. All services will be fully operational and accessible from Monday 14 November 2022.
