What an incredible day at Walk for Relief 2025!
February 23 2025
On Sunday, 23 January, Peninsula Hot Springs once again hosted this inspiring and powerful event, leading a group of incredible participants on a breathtaking 10km walk through Point Nepean National Park – all in support of vital mental health awareness and services. Mentis Assist is incredibly grateful to Peninsula Hot Springs, whose continuing commitment to community, wellbeing, and giving back is at the heart of everything they do. Their dedication to supporting the very people who live, work, and visit their incredible wellness destination is what makes Walk for Relief and anything else they undertake such a success. A heartfelt thank you also to our remarkable sponsors — Crown Property Services, NAB, Ashfords, Solution One, Mt Buller, HP&CP Australia, Searoad Ferries, Arthurs Seat Eagle, and Made by Fressko whose continued generosity makes this event possible year after year. If you or your business would like to be part of this positive, forward-looking event and team—whether as a sponsor or participant—we’d love to hear from you
