Welcome to One Door Parramatta

Frangipani House 

We have successfully moved in to our new premises at 6 Grose Street Parramatta, and have kicked off 2018 in our lovely new site! If you haven’t done so already, we encourage you to stop by for a visit to our new site.

When living with a mental illness, it can be difficult to find the understanding and support you need to recover. 

One Door Parramatta offers a centre-based service called Frangipani House. At Frangipani House you are always welcome. We provide a safe, supportive, respectful environment.

At Frangipani House we offer a range of social, recreational and educational activities for adults experiencing persistent mental illness. These activities include mystery trips, birthday lunches, arts and crafts, creative writing and self-development workshops.

Frangipani House is a place where you can look after more than just your mental health. We regularly run physical health programs to help you quit smoking and make better nutrition and lifestyle choices to complement your mental health journey. You’re also welcome to drop by for a coffee and a chat.

Frangipani House is run by One Door Mental Health. Each member of Frangipani House is welcome, wanted and expected to arrive each day.

One Door Frangipani House provides:

• An environment where people can come to learn daily living skills, work on social and community engagement ether individually or in a group setting.
• ‘Adult Literacy’ - the program is receiving excellent feedback from our clients who report that it is both ‘engaging and educational’.
• ‘Healthy Tuesday’ – clients are engaging in healthy cooking and gentle exercise including: circuit training, stretching and walking.
