Key Services
Family Support
Through holistic assessment and tailored support, we assist families to build stability, strengthen independence, and achieve their goals. This includes connecting people with relevant services, providing advocacy, and supporting transitions into safe and sustainable living.
We work closely together as a team to provide coordinated, wraparound support for the whole family. We understand that every family’s journey is different, and we aim to create a safe, respectful space where you feel heard, understood, and supported.
Child and Family Counselling
We provide free, child‑centred counselling in a safe and welcoming environment. Our Children’s Counsellor supports children and young people to understand and express their emotions, develop emotional resilience, and learn practical skills to manage life’s challenges. Working in partnership with families and our Family Support team, we offer connected, holistic care that supports the wellbeing of both the child and their family.
Cairns South Together
Cairns South Together is a community-led initiative that creates a positive future for children and young people in Cairns’ southern suburbs. Guided by the insights and experiences of local families, this place-based initiative addresses social challenges through collective action. Their work focuses on two key life stages: ensuring children thrive in their first 1,000 days and supporting young people as they enter adolescence and prepare for a bright future.
