How We Can Help

We work with individuals, families and communities to support recovery from trauma. We can work with anyone at any age including children, young people and adults.

QPASTT provides free, voluntary, confidential support for people from refugee backgrounds and for people seeking asylum (both in held immigration detention and in the community) who have experienced torture and/or trauma.

You can access our services whether you are newly arrived in Australia, or have lived here for many years.

Our services are available in our offices in Brisbane, Logan, Toowoomba, Townsville and Cairns, as well as in outreach locations across Queensland.

Healing is being free from mental and physical pain.

Acknowledgement of Country

QPASTT acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the traditional custodians of the land where we live and work and we pay our respect to their cultures, their ancestors and their elders – past, present and emerging. We recognise the continuing trauma caused by losses of children, language, lore and land and the impact that this continues to have on psychological, physical and spiritual wellbeing. We recognise that since time immemorial, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have nurtured communities of belonging and thriving and we work in solidarity towards a future of healing and justice.

QPASTT supports the Uluru Statement from the Heart and a First Nations Voice to Parliament - read our statement here.

QPASTT is committed to creating a safe, inclusive and equitable environment for people from all genders, sexualities, religions and cultures – for our clients, communities and our staff.

QPASTT is committed to the safety and protection of children, young adults and vulnerable people in all its work. When entering our offices or engaging in our programs, staff, volunteers and contractors are expected to conduct themselves in a manner which is consistent with QPASTT core values and the safeguarding practices which are inherent in all QPASTT policies. QPASTT provides a welcoming, inclusive, trusted, and safe environment for all clients while acknowledging the importance of establishing and maintaining clear professional boundaries that protect everyone and promote safety.
