Tell me more:

Think differently to solve complex problems. Working with young people in out of home care to provide targeted support that prevents entry into residential care.

Target Care Packages (TCPs) are creative and innovative placements developed around specific children / young people aged 7-19 years incorporating all aspects of support and brokerage required in order to prevent them entering residential care or for them to successfully transition out of residential care to any alternative form of placement where their needs will be better met. 

TCPs are designed to provide holistic support to children / young people, their family, carers and others through a care team model, across the service system. By their nature, TCPs are designed to sit outside of traditional program boundaries.

• Develop and implement management plans and cultural support plans.
• Maintaining appropriate program records including case noting, LAC documentation and quarterly reports.
