About Roseberry QLD
Roseberry is a community-based organisation providing a range of services to meet the identified needs of young people and families facing difficulty. Established in the mid-1980s, Roseberry Queensland was formed by a dedicated team of volunteers who recognised the pressing need for a solution to youth homelessness in our community. Our first major initiative involved acquiring a house on Roseberry Street in Gladstone, enabling us to establish a youth shelter and offer vital support to young individuals. From our first major initiative of acquiring a house on Roseberry Street in Gladstone to establish a youth shelter, we have evolved into a registered charity and community-led corporation. Today, we extend our reach across regional Queensland, delivering programs and services designed to empower communities and lift them out of disadvantage. Our primary focus is on expanding our services to adopt a holistic approach in supporting young people. This involves the cultivation and development of programs that aim to provide:
- Protection & Support
- Vocational Pathways
- Health & Wellbeing
- Shelter & Housing
- Safety & Security
Our strategic approach
Protect – continue to provide services that positively contribute to a young person’s life through professional expertise & quality assurance delivered with compassion.
Optimise – being responsive to emerging challenges through innovation, collaboration, and community partners.
Grow – build our organisational reach through internal capacity building, new investment and new community partnerships.
We define and measure the change we want to make in our community through our Impact Goals:
- Young People have a voice and are heard
- Young People are enabled to break out of the cycle of disadvantage and poverty.
- Young People are socially and emotionally well.
- Families are resilient, protective, and supported.
- People have a safe and sustainable place to live and grow
