community engagement initiatives

Enhancing collective mental and physical wellbeing is a key when we are working on activities within the community. Many of our initiatives focus on raising awareness and funds to support mental and physical health issues as well as providing a possible relief to individual customers who live with challenging ill-health conditions related to these issues. Here are some of the regular activities which we deliver in an attempt to achieve our missions.

Mental health is a cause close to our hearts at the springs. Our ‘Share the Warmth’ campaign each year encourages guests to bring a friend who may be experiencing mental hardship (free of charge) to the Bath House to relax and bathe with them.

self-managing warm water exercise cards

Based on guidelines provided by Musculoskeletal Health Australia (MHA), Peninsula Hot Springs has created a set of water-proof exercise cards that provide routine exercise movements for our guests to practice in our hot spring pools.

These exercises are designed to ease and improve the symptoms of many musculoskeletal conditions, as well as body and mind-related stress. These cards are available for use by Bath House guests at any time, and assistance from our pool attendants is always available if required.
