Finding paths to brighter futures
In Australia today, unfortunately there are thousands of children and young people who, for a variety of reasons, are unable to remain living with their own families. Whether they have been victims of crime, abuse, neglect or a tragic accident involving their parents, these children need safe and nurturing environments to help them find a path to a brighter future.
Our service, Care Pathways assists those who are at risk of being taken into care, or who are already in the care of the Queensland Department of Communities (Child Safety Services). We are one of the largest non-government providers of child protection services in Queensland and currently help close to 3,000 children and young people every year by providing: Foster and kinship care, Residential care, Semi-independent living, Assessment and intervention services, Reunification support service, Training.
As part of Churches of Christ Care, we constantly strive to ensure a better future for children and young people at risk . This website contains helpful information on the various types of care, how to become a foster carer, our locations, and a special area just for kids.
