The Windana Therapeutic Community is a 20 bed residential facility located in the picturesque location of the Grampians in Victoria. At Windana’s Grampians TC, the program is based on a stay of approximately three months.
The community as method approach utilised at Windana provides therapeutic and educational impact to residents who participate in self-help and mutual-help activities.
This is a non-smoking facility and support will be provided to not smoke during their stay.
When you arrive at the TC, you will be able to make one phone call to a loved one to let them know you have arrived safely. Otherwise, for the first two weeks, you will not be able to contact your family (except for dependent children) or other workers.

Residents must only bring what they can easily carry by themselves. As there is limited cupboard space no more than two bags or 1 big suitcase limit applies and a list of what to bring will be provided at assessment.
