Foundations Care is a dedicated not-for-profit community service organisation with a strong presence in Gladstone and wider Queensland, passionately committed to the wellbeing and long-term development of children, young people, and their families who are unable to safely remain in their home environments. With over two decades of experience grounded in trauma-informed and evidence-based practice, Foundations Care specialises in fostering safe, nurturing, and stable out-of-home care through programs such as foster care, kinship care, and residential care, ensuring each child’s unique cultural, emotional, and developmental needs are respected and met. The organisation works collaboratively with local carers, families, community leaders, behavioural specialists, and government partners to deliver tailored support, training, and advocacy — equipping caregivers with the skills, resources, and 24/7 support they need to foster resilience and positive outcomes for vulnerable young people. Foundations Care’s holistic service approach also includes transition-to-independence assistance, supervised family contact, youth mentoring, and behaviour support, all aimed at empowering children and families to feel safe, accepted and valued within their communities. Through its unwavering commitment to compassionate care and community connection, Foundations Care fosters an environment where every child and young person has the opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential
