Newcastle Beacon brings together a network of organisations, professionals and volunteers with the common goal of supporting first responders, emergency department personnel, veterans and their families in Newcastle and the Hunter. Navigating support services alone can be overwhelming for someone in crisis. Newcastle Beacon aims to simplify the process of getting help by identifying and breaking down barriers to accessing support. Our mission is to strengthen our community by working together to enhance the physical, mental and social well-being of those who serve, or have served in the Australian Defence Force, Emergency Services and their families, who serve right alongside them.
