Who We Are

Bridges Health & Community Care Ltd. (BHCC) is a purpose-driven, community-based organisation delivering life-changing programs across regional and rural Queensland since 1997. We've supported thousands of people to navigate mental illness, addiction, disadvantage and complex needs — moving from isolation to connection, from stigma to purpose.

Our work is grounded in recovery-oriented practice, "No Wrong Door" principles, and a deep commitment to lived experience, cultural respect and inclusion. We are proud to be launching the Staying on Track (SoT) program, supporting young people aged 10–17 who are exiting detention, helping them safely reintegrate into their families and communities, with wraparound support for education, training, employment, cultural identity, and resilience.

  • 3+ years' experience working with vulnerable families
  • Strong understanding of youth justice and early intervention practices
  • Excellent communication, problem-solving and collaboration skills
