Care services
Child Protection
DCR provides support to children and young adults who are in the care of the State, and provides them with services that benefit their health and wellbeing and aid their development.
DCR was first awarded Preferred Supplier status with the former Department of Families (Qld), initially in October 2004, and currently holds a State-wide licence as an ‘out of home’ care provider under the Queensland child protection legislation in accordance with the Queensland Human Services Quality Standards.
Professional out-of-home care
Direct Care Resources works collaboratively with Child Safety Services within the Department of Children, Youth Justice and Multicultural Affairs to provide high quality, professional out-of-home care, supervision, and management to children at risk.
We are an accredited service provider holding an organisation level licence incorporating the Queensland Government’s Human Services Quality Framework.
Experienced Support Workers
Our residences are located across South-East Queensland with each fully staffed on a 24/7 basis by a small, experienced team of Support Workers who are fully trained in managing children and young people (especially those with challenging behaviours) in care.
The small care team means that children and young people have consistency and certainty in the delivery of their care and that DCR can develop a schedule of developmental activities and behavioural boundaries to be consistently applied.
DCR ensures that all care staff in Child Protection have a Blue Card, a clearance from the Licensing of Care Services Under the Child Protection Act 1999, a Hope and Healing training certificate, and a relevant qualification of Certificate IV or higher.
Additional Care Services
Supported Independent Living
As a registered NDIS provider, our disability care services support those who live with physical, intellectual or psychosocial disabilities through delivering: Supported Independent Living (SIL) Community Participation
Community Programs
DCR’s Community Program was established to enrich the lives of our participants and provide meaningful connections, activities and opportunities.
