Welcome to the Hub

Lives Lived Well (LLW) is a non-government treatment provider with origins in drug and alcohol support, stretching back to a volunteer group in the 1970s.  It has retained its primary focus on providing support for drug and alcohol misuse and addiction and mental health challenges since that time.  It has offices in multiple locations throughout New South Wales and Queensland and South Australia.  

Co-funded with DVA, Lives Lived Well has established the Adelaide Veterans’ and Families’ Wellbeing Hub located in Elizabeth Vale, close to the RAAF Base Edinburgh. 

The Hub is designed as a welcoming, family‑friendly space, that enables veterans and families of veterans to access integrated and flexible support without referral, including mental health and wellbeing assistance, counselling, advocacy, case management, and help with transition, housing, and employment. Delivered by a skilled team with lived or learned experience of veteran life, the Hub also offers social activities, peer connection opportunities, and group programs that foster belonging, resilience, and long‑term wellbeing within the veteran community
