Arthur Creative

Melba’s Arthur Creative is where artists come together to learn, grow and shine. Led by artists for artists, we offer a variety of workshops for emerging and established creatives.   

Complex Health

We take a holistic approach to health and wellbeing.  Our “wraparound” approach places you at the centre of a support system that includes your family, healthcare providers and Melba employees. 

Positive Behaviour Support

We work closely with people who use behaviours of protest as a form of communication to understand what they’re trying to communicate and create individualised, flexible strategies that ensure they are truly seen and heard. Our approach is trauma informed, human rights based and grounded in evidence. 

Intimacy and Connection

Intimacy is more than romance – it’s about meaningful human connection that makes you feel wanted, valued, understood and safe. We know forming meaningful relationships is helped by having informed, confident families and support networks, which is why we offer workshops that provide them with a safe space and practical tools to work on navigating these important conversations.
