Solid Ground Program
Australia's first
Re-Integration program
Solid Ground's goal is to help participants rebuild every part of their lives.
Begin your journey at our 160 acre Eneabba property 1.5 hours south of Geraldton, you will stay for a minimum of 12 months and will be provided with wrap-around supports that help you build your skills and confidence before returning to the community.
Skills based co-operative business
You will take part in a business where everyone works together and shares skills. You can learn new work skills and also teach others what you already know, with support from our staff mentors.
Helping the community
You will be supported to do volunteer and paid work for the local community. This could include things like fencing, firebreaks, gardening and cleaning up yards.
Any money made by the business or through paid work is split 50 - 50 between St ROB and the participants, with your share saved in your name and given to you when you complete the program.
