Out Of Home Care

We provide temporary and long term care for children and young people who are subject to state-based custodial arrangements through Department of Families Fairness and Housing (DFFH).
 
We recognize that children and young people in our care are a highly vulnerable group with increased physical, mental and social health needs. We strongly believe that all children and young people have a right to be safe and protected at all times, especially when accessing services in the community. 
 
At Calliope Family Services we are guided by our values and principals which include:
 
• The empowerment of all young people. 
• Young people’s participation. 
• Social justice for young people. 
• Respect for young people’s human dignity and worth. 
• Positive health and well-being outcomes for young people. 
• The safety of young people. 
• Young people’s connectedness to important people in their lives, such as family and community. 
• The positive transitions and healthy development of young people.

Supported Independent Living

As supporters of independent living, we embrace the fact that safely doing daily tasks is essential. We assist NDIS participants in performing their daily tasks in a shared setting to provide hands-on training and assistance. Our experienced support workers are always happy to help and provide as much or as little assistance you need in performing daily tasks.

Santana helped provide a safe and secure home environment for our client. The model of care developed lead to measurable and considerable decreases in client violence and aggression, and reportable incidents. The client was supported to reengage in education and to develop their independent living skills, and has subsequently moved into independent living. I would highly recommend Santana for any role supporting children and young people with complex behaviours in a residential setting.
