Children & Youth Services

---

We provide safe, culturally responsive emergency accommodation for children and young people in crisis. Our spaces are designed to be healing environments, incorporating cultural traditions, language, and community support to promote a sense of belonging and security.

Our outreach team engages with children and families where they are—in communities, schools, or homes. We focus on early intervention, advocacy, and empowerment, ensuring culturally respectful support that builds on individual and family strengths.

We support families raising children through kinship care—at home and in community. With decades of experience, we offer practical help, advocacy, and culturally strong support that honours family connections and builds long-term stability.

We deliver cultural competency training and workshops for professionals, caregivers, and organisations to ensure culturally safe and inclusive practices. Our training emphasises strength-based approaches, historical awareness, and community engagement.

We offer holistic, culturally appropriate case management, working alongside families to develop individualised safety and support plans. Our approach centres on cultural identity, community connections, and strength-based solutions to promote long-term well-being.

We provide culturally appropriate respite care, offering temporary relief to caregivers while ensuring children remain in environments that respect their heritage, traditions, and values. This service helps to reduce stress and prevent crisis situations.

Our culturally informed bail support services assist young people in meeting their legal obligations while providing guidance on rehabilitation, cultural reconnection, and positive behavioural change. We collaborate with legal, community, and cultural leaders to support successful reintegration.

We provide tailored transition support for young people moving between care placements, returning to family, or transitioning into independent living. Our approach ensures cultural continuity, emotional support, and practical life skills development.

We invest in our workforce through ongoing professional development, cultural training, and wellness programs. Our staff support services focus on self-care, cultural safety, and trauma-informed practice, ensuring our team remains strong, resilient, and effective in their roles.
