From humble beginnings in 2000 Canefields Clubhouse commenced operating
with unpaid volunteers from a
small private residence in Manilla Street,
Beenleigh with zero funding, to where we are today - an Incorporated
Association with Charity Status operating from large and expanding
premises. |

Vision
Our vision is to create a restorative
environment within which people who have a mental illness can achieve or
regain the confidence and skills necessary to lead vocationally and
socially satisfying lives, through productive employment, personal
growth, friendship and social networks, career development and long term
financial security. |
Mission Statement
The mission of Canefields Clubhouse is to
promote the rights of people who experience mental illness, to have
valued social roles and access to work and
community participation.

Clubhouse aims to provide equal access for all clubhouse members to
every clubhouse opportunity, and to guarantee the rights of clubhouse
members to a place to come, to meaningful work, to meaningful
relationships and to a place to return. Canefields Clubhouse is
committed to the principle that regardless of the level of disability,
every clubhouse member has a
contribution to make. |
