Emergency Care

We provide accommodation in a trauma-informed home environment, with one or more Support Workers present at all times

 
Known as Short Term Care, this accommodation option is available 24/7 for children and young people between 0-18 years who have been assessed by the Department for Child Protection as being at risk and are placed under Guardianship orders.

We understand that these children have experienced trauma and consequently need specific tailored care which our skilled staff can provide.

Referral to this service is completed by the Department for Child Protection.

 

Baptist Care SA, lives, works and walks on Kaurna, Peramangk and Boandik lands. We acknowledge Aboriginal people as the state’s first peoples, recognise their traditional ownership, and respect their cultural heritage, beliefs, deep connection and continued guardianship of land and waters. We value the contributions of Elders past and present, and are committed to learning from those emerging.
