OUR PROGRAMS
Practical programs. Meaningful opportunities. Stronger communities.
1 Source Health & Wellbeing Inc. develops and supports programs that connect people with professional support, build practical skills, encourage inclusion and community participation, and create opportunities for people to contribute in meaningful ways.
Our current work brings together professional wellbeing support, disability inclusion, horticulture, nature-based activities and wildlife rehabilitation.
Each program has its own purpose, but they are connected by one broader goal:
Turning support into meaningful action.
Counselling Tasmania
Connecting people with professional support
Counselling Tasmania helps people find counselling and wellbeing professionals across Tasmania and online.
Rather than choosing a practitioner for someone, the platform gives people the information they need to explore their options, learn about different practitioners and make their own informed first connection.
Through Counselling Tasmania, people can:
Explore counsellors by location
Learn about individual practitioners
Read about qualifications, experience and approaches
Explore different areas of support
Access counselling and wellbeing articles
Contact practitioners directly
Counselling Tasmania also provides a professional network for counsellors and wellbeing practitioners.
Professional members can build their visibility through dedicated practitioner profiles, contribute educational articles and become part of a growing Tasmanian professional community.
Supporting both sides of the connection.
For the public, Counselling Tasmania makes it easier to discover support.
For professionals, it creates a place to be seen, share knowledge and connect with the wider community.

15 fruit trees
Around 300 vegetable and herb plants
Accessible raised garden beds
Wheelchair-accessible pathways and turning areas
Automatic irrigation
Protected growing areas
Potting and propagation areas
Gardening and accessible tools
Produce preparation and storage areas
The program is being designed so participants can become involved according to their individual interests, abilities and support needs.
WILDLIFE RESCUE & REHABILITATION
Rescue • Rehabilitate • Release
At Mt Rumney, 1 Source is also developing a small-scale wildlife rescue and rehabilitation initiative to support injured and orphaned Tasmanian native wildlife.
The focus is on providing individual animals with appropriate care, rehabilitation and, wherever possible, preparing them for return to the wild.
Starting Small — and Doing It Properly
The wildlife program is intentionally being developed at a manageable scale.
Initially, facilities are being planned to care for approximately five to six animals at one time.
Depending on permits, authorisations and individual care requirements, this may include animals such as:
Joeys
Pademelons
Ringtail possums
Other suitable Tasmanian wildlife
Wombats when the appropriate level of authorisation and facilities are in place
What the Program Is Being Developed To Include
The wildlife rehabilitation area will require:
Secure rehabilitation enclosures
Shelters and bedding
Heat and temperature-control equipment
Wildlife feeding equipment
Appropriate formula and food
Medical and first-aid supplies
Hygiene and biosecurity systems
Wildlife intake and care records
Rescue and transport equipment
Wildlife, Disability Inclusion & Community Participation
Where appropriate, safe and permitted, there may also be opportunities for people with disability and volunteers to participate in suitable activities connected with the wildlife program.
This could include activities such as preparing supplies, maintaining appropriate areas, helping with gardening or habitat-related tasks and other supervised activities.
Direct wildlife handling or animal-care activities would only occur where appropriate, properly supervised and permitted.
The Goal
Rescue when help is needed.
Rehabilitate with appropriate care.
Release wherever possible.
MT RUMNEY — A PLACE WITH ROOM TO GROW
Nature, community and practical learning in one setting
Growing Hearts and the wildlife rehabilitation program are being developed within dedicated program areas at a privately owned approximately 150-acre property at Mt Rumney, close to Hobart.
The property provides space for horticulture, wildlife rehabilitation, outdoor learning and future nature-based community initiatives.
Importantly, the programs will begin at a realistic scale.
Growing Hearts begins with approximately 416m².
The wildlife centre begins with capacity for only a small number of animals.
We believe sustainable programs are built by starting well, learning from experience and growing responsibly.
Wildlife, Disability Inclusion & Community Participation
Where appropriate, safe and permitted, there may also be opportunities for people with disability and volunteers to participate in suitable activities connected with the wildlife program.
This could include activities such as preparing supplies, maintaining appropriate areas, helping with gardening or habitat-related tasks and other supervised activities.
Direct wildlife handling or animal-care activities would only occur where appropriate, properly supervised and permitted.
The Goal
Rescue when help is needed.
Rehabilitate with appropriate care.
Release wherever possible.
