Community Wellbeing Project

Building Resilience in the Muswellbrook Shire

Working together to build a strong, sustainable community

UHCS and BHP Mt Arthur are proud to continue a partnership spanning more than 10 years. Together we are building a stronger, more resilient Upper Hunter community with a key focus on mental health and wellbeing.
