Ingham team recognised as finalist in 2025 Queensland Mental Health Awards

selectability is celebrating after our Ingham team was named a finalist in the Workplace – Community Wellbeing category of the 2025 Queensland Mental Health Achievement Awards.  

The nomination recognises the incredible resilience and dedication of the team during the February weather event, when Ingham’s Mental Health Hub sustained significant damage.  

Despite this, the team continued to deliver critical support to recipients and the wider community. 

Regional Coordinator Julie Ross said she was proud of how the community came together. 

“I am incredibly proud of the entire team and community for coming together during this event,” said Julie. 

Even as roads closed and services were disrupted, staff quickly adapted, moving operations to a temporary base, maintaining services over the phone, and providing essential supply deliveries.  

Essential programs such as the Ingham Clubhouse continued, giving recipients structure, connection and confidence during a time of uncertainty. 

The team also distributed close to 50 food and hygiene packs with the support of local businesses. 

“Recipients were very excited to receive supplies!” the team shared. 

Their efforts extended well beyond immediate recovery, creating safe, inclusive spaces where recipients could stay engaged and supported.  

From community meals to a local open day, the team kept connection at the heart of their response. 

This recognition highlights the extraordinary leadership and compassion shown in Ingham, and reflects selectability’s commitment to delivering person-centred care, even in times of disaster. 

Congratulations to our Ingham team on this well-deserved recognition!  
 
Winners will be announced in Brisbane on 10 October.
