Walking Beside Our Mob, Building Brighter Futures

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 organizations to ensure culturally safe and inclusive practices. Our training emphasizes 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 centers 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 behavioral 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.

Our qualified practitioners work with participants, families, and support networks to create Positive Behaviour Support Plans that promote emotional regulation, cultural safety, and long-term wellbeing. Case management ensures that all supports are aligned, coordinated, and focused on achieving the participant’s NDIS goals.

We support participants in actively engaging with their community through social outings, cultural events, community programs, and recreational activities that align with their interests and goals. 

We support participants with daily tasks such as personal care, cooking, cleaning, and routines in the home and community. Our support workers are culturally aware and trained to deliver this care with dignity, patience, and respect.

We help participants understand their NDIS plans, connect with trusted service providers, and coordinate supports that reflect their cultural needs and personal aspirations. Our coordinators act as advocates, ensuring participants have choice, control, and clarity in their journey.

We provide safe and reliable transport to medical appointments, cultural activities, therapy sessions, and community programs. Transport is always delivered by trusted staff who understand the importance of routine, safety, and cultural connection.

Malu Care offers short-term accommodation in a culturally supportive environment, providing participants with rest, stability, and meaningful engagement. Respite also offers families and carers the opportunity to recharge, knowing their loved one is in safe and familiar hands.
