Our community partners

There are 83 non-government organisations working in partnership with Child Safety Services to deliver 279 services or programs to children, young people and families throughout Queensland.

The aim of working in partnership with non-government organisations across Queensland is to ensure the safety and wellbeing of children and young people who are in need of protection and require an out-of-home placement and/or support services to meet their protective and care needs.

An intended outcome of our partnership with non-government organisations is to maintain the child's relationship with their family and community, and achieve a sense of belonging either through safe reunification or through the provision of stable, quality care.

  • Helping Out Families

    The Helping Out Families initiative is aimed at strengthening services in the community to respond more effectively and earlier to families who are in need of support.

  • Networks and peak bodies

    We work in collaboration with partner representative networks and peak bodies to provide peer advocacy, systems advocacy, policy input and specific operational input.

  • Placement services

    Placement services, also known as alternative care or out-of-home care services, provide places and support for children and young people who are unable to live at home.

  • Indigenous Child Protection Services

    The aim for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander child protection service delivery in Queensland is to ensure accessibility, cultural appropriateness and responsiveness across the child protection continuum for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people.

  • Support services

    Support services provide assistance to children, young people and families who are referred by Child Safety Services for a range of interventions that focus on the assessed needs of children and families.
