Wattlecliffe Youth Services
Our journey with Wattlecliffe Youth Services began with a realisation while working within the local NGO sector. Recognising a critical need for dependable, high-quality youth staff available to agencies seeking supervision for children in crisis, we embarked on a mission to fill this gap. Our commitment is rooted in providing a safe and nurturing environment for every child we serve, ensuring they receive the care they deserve during challenging times.
Is to provide well-trained and compassionate support workers who are committed to providing a high level of care for children and young people in need. We will continue to give individualised support to each child and ensure that our approach to providing care is wholistic and inclusive.
Our Mission
At Wattleciffe, our vision is to become the foremost agency recognised for unwavering dedication to providing compassionate, expert care for children and young people facing crisis situations. We aspire to expand our reach and impact, establishing a network of nurturing homes designed specifically for their needs. Our long-term commitment includes acquiring properties transformed into safe havens, fostering a sense of belonging and stability for those in our care. By revolutionizing the standard of support, we aim to minimize the reliance on temporary accommodations, ensuring every child finds solace and support on their journey to a brighter future.

We know that every child and young person has different needs and thats why we ensure that we work closely with Case Management to create an individualised profile for each child.

Holistic Approach
Keeping a child connected to their community is important and at Wattlecliffe we know how important that is. Our team is committed to ensuring each child stays connected so we continue to keep them as engaged as we know thats what is best for them! This includes school, OT and speech sessions or footy practice.
In-depth Reporting
