Stress Less in the Park a success.

More than 400 people attended the Stress Less in the Park event at the Civic Centre Lawns.

20 local service providers were present and providing engaging activities for event attendees, as well as providing information on how to access community support services.

The Alice Springs Reptile Centre did a presentation which was very popular and Get Physical provided a short stretch demonstration. Kumalie Riley provided a Welcome to Country and the Alice Springs Mayor Matt Paterson spoke on behalf of the Alice Springs Town Council.

Local musicians Maddi, Xavia and Paul Ah Chee performed on the day, and there was an Outside Broadcast by CAAMA Radio.

MHACA was pleased to be part of the Australian Homelessness Conference 2026, held on 7–8 October at the Darwin Convention Centre.

Under the theme Homelessness: Disrupting the Narrative, the conference brought together more than 600 sector leaders, researchers and practitioners to share knowledge, experiences and approaches to addressing homelessness.

Representatives from MHACA's Housing and Homelessness Service and Living Skills Program attended, with the Living Skills team presenting a session on Valuing Lived Experience in service delivery.

It was a valuable opportunity to share our work, learn from others and strengthen connections across the homelessness sector.
