The Buttery is a not-for-profit, charitable organisation delivering mental health, and alcohol and other drug rehabilitation services across Northern NSW, from Tweed Heads to Port Macquarie.

The Buttery, in partnership with its Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) Committee, is proud to celebrate NAIDOC Week with a free community screening of the acclaimed First Nations animated feature film Imagine, inviting the Northern Rivers community to come together to reflect, learn and celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, stories and achievements.

Safe Haven North Coast has provided effective mental health supports for people across the region since it was established in 2022, but is now running out of funding.

There’s an immortal line from Paul Kelly’s hit song, ‘To Her Door’ which reads, ‘He went to The Buttery, stayed about a year…

It’s that time of the year again. Friday Hut Road from The Buttery has been renamed Santa Claus Lane and dozens of colourful Santas, gnomes and sleighs – one pulled by six white kangaroos – have appeared by the roadside. 

The NSW government says it is committing $21 million over four years to enhance alcohol and other drug (AOD) treatment and support for people in Northern NSW, as the regional Drug Summit begins in Lismore.

Binna Burra-based rehab centre, The Buttery, celebrated 50 years of serving the community this year, and held a gala dinner for 150 supporters in Tweed Heads on September 14.

250 people attended the first free Community Mental Health Symposium last Thursday at Ballina RSL, with a range of expert speakers from various organisations explaining the dimensions of the problem and how best to move forward.

For a mum with small children, going away for six months sometimes just isn’t an option. That’s why the Buttery has created CORE – or Community Based Rehab.

The Buttery has received $257,000 to assist young people aged 10 to 19 with drug and alcohol problems to help them get earlier access to treatment.
