Children, Youth and Family Services

The Centre-based services also deal with the provision of care for children at the various facilities that have been put in place by the Churches of Christ in Queensland.
Housing services
The Churches of Christ in Queensland also provides a number of accommodation facilities for people who are financially not very sound. These people are treated with all forms of discriminations when they decide to go in search of an accommodation themselves from individual house owners. This is something which spurred the organisation on to build a number of well furnished houses which were then rented to such people at a very affordable price when compared to what they would have been asked to pay elsewhere. Each of these accommodation facilities are situated in communities that help to promote the proper development and involvement of the individual in the community that he or she lives.
Home Care services
This includes the provision of essential supportive services to people who are old but decide to live on their own without moving into any of the Centres that are known to care for such old people. The organisation sees to it that all the needs of these people are adequately met in order to make their lives as lively and simple as possible.
