Out Doors has been empowering Victorians through nature-based mental health programs since 1987.

Out Doors assists people to tackle some of the barriers which hamper their ability to live independently or participate in the community. Common experiences for people with a mental health issue include:

There is nothing quite like a sneaky beach getaway! ☀️🌊

Our group headed down to the Bellarine Peninsula for our Bellarine Beach Break overnight trip. It was the perfect mix of relaxation and exploration. We spent our time soaking up the fresh sea air, dipping our toes in the water, and checking out the local native parklands. 🌿🌾

We wrapped up the trip with an absolute show-stopper of a red sunset, which officially coined our new team catchphrase: "Red sky at night, ODI delight!" 🌅

It was a beautiful reminder of how lucky we are to have such incredible coastal spots right on our doorstep. 💙

On a hot summer’s day, there is truly nothing better than a dip in a refreshing river! 🌊☀️

Our group headed out to the beautiful rainforests and rivers of Warburton for our Rainforest & Rivers program. We spent our days walking beneath the towering mountain ash and redwood canopy, soaking up the deep shade and cool breeze that only these giant forests can provide. 🌲✨

The highlight? An afternoon splashing around in the Yarra River, sharing the water with some very happy local ducks! 🦆💦 It was the perfect short getaway right in the heart of Greater Melbourne.

Big thanks to our coordinator, Pei Ting, for leading such a wonderful trip!

Today is World Schizophrenia Day, and at Out Doors Inc., we’re standing with our community to challenge the stigma and change the conversation. 🧠🌱

Schizophrenia affects 1 in 100 people, yet it remains one of the most misunderstood mental health conditions. We believe that recovery doesn't happen in isolation, it happens through connection, support, and the healing power of nature.

Our outdoor programs are built on the idea that everyone deserves a space to thrive, improve their wellbeing, and find their strength. Today, we celebrate the resilience of those living with schizophrenia and reaffirm our commitment to providing inclusive, supportive environments for all.

Let’s replace misconceptions with empathy. Together, we can build a community where everyone feels seen, heard, and supported. 🤝✨

What a view! 🏔️✨

The Peaks of the Macedon Ranges program was nothing short of magical. We spent our days journeying through forest trails, exploring the unique geology and mythology of the iconic Hanging Rock, and trekking up to the Camel’s Hump, the highest peak in the region.

From the towering gums to the ancient volcanic formations, the panoramic lookouts across Victoria’s countryside provided the perfect backdrop for personal growth and team connection.

But the real highlight? Seeing the transformation in our participants. One adventurer shared how the experience helped them find their voice:

"Gradually improving, more confident engaging participation skills...Couldn't do better. Staff are flexible and capable." - Out Doors Inc Participant

There is something about the fresh mountain air and a shared challenge that makes opening up just a little bit easier. We are so proud of the progress made on these trails!
