ABOUT US
At Lasting Support Services, our unwavering commitment is to unlock the potential of every child and young person, regardless of their background or circumstances. We firmly believe that every individual deserves the chance to thrive.
We work with some of the most vulnerable and high-risk young people and families, providing trauma-informed, culturally competent services that meet them where they are. From early intervention, such as counselling and mentorship programs, to intensive support, like residential care and crisis intervention, our mission is to break cycles of harm, strengthen families, and build lasting resilience.
Our innovative hybrid model sets us apart: Lasting Support Services operates as the trading arm of our newly restructured charitable foundation. This intentional design allows us to deliver frontline services while driving wider system change, a unique approach that we believe will bring about positive transformation.
Through the foundation, we engage in real-world work, providing direct, hands-on support to young people and families impacted by trauma, violence, and adversity. This strategy gives us the insight, learning, and evidence to refine and improve our methods.
The practice-based knowledge we generate has not and will never be kept to ourselves — we are committed to sharing it. Our trading arm takes these proven methods and offers them to other organisations, empowering them to better serve their communities without reinventing the wheel. Our scalable and adaptable model ensures that everyone has access to the knowledge they need to make a difference in their contexts.
Our track record of innovation and impact doesn't stop with us. It continues into the foundation, creating a ripple effect influencing the entire sector. By combining frontline practice, community learning, and policy influence, we position ourselves as more than just a service provider - we are a centre of excellence shaping better outcomes for young people locally and nationally.
