Social Prescribing
for Loneliness
Social prescribing connects people experiencing loneliness with community activities, groups, and services — facilitated by a link worker — rather than relying solely on clinical interventions.
How it works
Connects individuals with community assets that address social, emotional, and practical needs. Link workers provide personal support in navigating available resources and building confidence.
What to watch for
Ask your GP about social prescribing link workers — available through many Australian general practices. Works best when personalised to individual interests and circumstances.
