Our Children, Our way

Creating Safe, Culturally Grounded Futures for Our Children

At First Nation Services, we believe every child deserves to grow up safe, connected, and empowered — within a culture that uplifts them and a system that protects them.

To be recognised as industry leaders in child protection by delivering holistic, culturally-embedded care that transforms lives and breaks cycles of trauma.

We combine evidence-based therapeutic models with cultural healing practices to create a powerful, responsive framework for care. Our team adopts internationally recognised strategies like Therapeutic Crisis Intervention (TCI), ensuring our frontline staff are equipped to respond with consistency, safety, and compassion in times of crisis.

But what truly sets us apart is our cultural lens.

Culture is not an add-on — it's the foundation.
Our programs are designed by and for First Nation Services, embedding cultural knowledge, identity, language, and connection to Country throughout every stage of care. We work alongside Elders, community leaders, and families to ensure our young people feel seen, supported, and empowered to heal in a way that is meaningful to them.
