About Us
We care about children & young people
Our residential care services are thoughtfully designed to nurture the holistic development of children and young people. Our primary aim is to cultivate a therapeutic community and strong kinship connections, ensuring that children and young people not only feel a sense of belonging during their time in our care, but also maintain supportive relationships beyond their stay with us.
Kaizer Community extends its therapeutic services to regions beyond Southeast Queensland, including rural areas, offering dedicated support for children and young people in child protection. Our trained staff are committed to ensuring the continuity of care, focusing on the holistic well-being and development of those under our support, including emergency accommodation when needed.
Our team comprises highly skilled youth work and social worker professionals who have undergone extensive training in Kaizer’s Community Practice Approach and the Hope and Healing Framework. By embracing these therapeutic methodologies, our team ensures nurturing care and unwavering support to our young people and children, the community, and partnered organisations, fostering an environment of healing and growth.
