Providing safe, high-quality care services that supports and empowers young people to thrive.

About MANAWISE Care

For more than 10 years, MANAWISE Care has delivered trauma-informed, evidence-based, and culturally responsive services that support communities to thrive. Through our work, we create remarkable futures where dignity is upheld, purpose is lived, and potential is realised.

We prioritise healthy families and young people and are committed to supporting families to stay together in loving, safe, and stable homes. Our services promote strong relationships and positive long-term outcomes through our evidence-based programs. When it is not possible for families to stay together, we provide safe, supportive out-of-home care alternatives for young people including emergency accommodation and therapeutic residential care.

Our approach integrates mental health, wellbeing, and social connection, recognising that young people thrive, now and into the future, through strong relationships and within connected communities.

Our difference

At MANAWISE Care, we don’t just deliver services, we walk alongside individuals and communities to create lasting change. We believe in innovative solutions to complex problems. That’s why we blend contemporary best practice with deep cultural wisdom, ensuring our services are inclusive, empowering, and designed to create long-term impact.

We are committed to child safety and quality

We are deeply committed to child safety and service excellence. Our expert team continuously reviews and strengthens our approach, ensuring we listen and respond to the needs of the young people and families who use our service. We uphold rigorous quality standards and comply with regulatory requirements, including those set by the Department of Child Safety and PeakCare Queensland.

From our community

I’ve worked in youth for years, but I’ve never seen a space where kids feel this safe and welcome. It’s a credit to the whole team and the environment we create for young people to feel safe and build relationships again with their family and community.
