Project 18 the wellbeing collective

Project 18 is a co-working space for wellbeing practitioners who deliver services such as counselling, art therapy, health and lifestyle coaching and a variety of workshops. It provides like-minded practitioners an opportunity to become part of a collective, work alongside other professionals who have a shared vision, to improve the wellbeing of others. It will provide opportunities to collaborate on projects, develop programs and coordinate community events.

Project 18 is embodied in a beautiful 1860 built property that is warm, welcoming and relaxed. The property can be found in the South of Port Adelaide, unexpectedly nestled amongst the time-honored railways precinct, giving it a unique location and vibe. This provides exciting opportunities for community development and street art projects.

Project 18 is an inclusive space that is committed to embracing acceptance and diversity, it is a space that welcomes people of all ages, genders, abilities, backgrounds and cultures. By providing a broad selection of supports, services and workshops delivered by practitioners from a variety of disciplines it is responding to the changing needs of the population of the Port. Project 18 believes in cultivating creativity and care and building genuine connections and opportunities to help build a thriving community.
