The Art Club Hub

The Art Club Hub is a creative business offering art experiences for children, teens, and adults, established to fill a gap in accessible, confidence-building art programs. It celebrates individuality and community connection. Offering weekly art classes, casual experiences, workshops and art functions, the club has become a second home for many locals. Growing rapidly through word-of-mouth and strong local support, The Art Club Hub is making a colourful mark on Ballarat’s creative community.

The Allan Labor Government is introducing new regulations to strengthen protections for mental health in the workplace. Recognizing psychosocial hazards-such as bullying, harassment, and exposure to trauma-as equally important as physical hazards, the new rules will require employers to identify and control these risks. In response to key mental health reviews, the regulations are set to be introduced in October and take effect on December 1, with a Compliance Code to guide employers. WorkSafe’s Work Well program continues to support businesses in creating mentally healthy workplaces, as work-related mental injury claims rise.
