We sat down this week to speak with RMIT Work Integrated Learning Teacher Trevor Bailey, who has been working closely with the Hand Brake Turn (HBT) team since we forged a partnership with them in 2018.
While celebrating Concern Australia’s 50 anniversary, and the launching of the 2021 Annual report, we took a moment to applaud the dedication and hard work of Jonathan Sugumar.
Our last virtual AGM was held yesterday and we can't be happier. Proud of celebrate 50 years of impact supporting young people and children.
Providing support and hope for young people, that’s how Burke & Beyond and Hand Brake Turn established a valuable partnership in 2019 that helps vulnerable young people transition into adulthood with all the elements required to thrive.
Did you know that in Australia, there are more than 3.24 million people living below the poverty line? That includes 774,000 children. This is unacceptable, and at Concern Australia we will continue to advocate to do something about it.
In a shared vision of collaboration supporting young people in our community to find work, Jobfind, a federal government Employment Service provider and Concern Australia have recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to explore opportunities for vulnerable unemployed young people across the employment and vocational skills sector.
Last week we came together as a group to celebrate the tireless commitment and contribution our staff bring to their work supporting vulnerable young people and children.
We’ve had a busy few months as we roll with the latest lockdowns and continue to innovate to support vulnerable young people. We've put together an overview of the stories you might have missed.
As more families find themselves in stressful situations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the risks to children grow. The 30th anniversary of Child Protection Week is an important reminder about protecting children in these unstable times.
We are incredibly heartened by the ongoing support of the Rotary Club of Keilor who have provided funding this year to build the capability of our Hand Brake Turn trainers working with at-risk young people.
