At Little Lantern Group, our Children Safe Program is at the core of everything we do. We are deeply committed to creating environments where every child feels safe, protected, and respected. Our program is built around the National Child Safe Standards and incorporates trauma-informed, culturally responsive practices. We prioritise not just physical safety, but emotional and psychological wellbeing, ensuring children are empowered to speak up, be heard, and trust the adults around them. Staff are thoroughly trained in child protection, reporting responsibilities, and safeguarding policies, with clear procedures in place to prevent harm and respond swiftly and appropriately if concerns arise.
More than policies and protocols, our Children Safe Program is about creating a culture of safety — one where children feel a sense of belonging, trust, and care. We actively engage with children and families to promote their rights, listen to their voices, and include them in shaping safe environments. Whether in our daily programs, therapy, or support services, we embed child safety into every interaction. Because we believe that every child has the right to grow, learn, and play free from harm — and that protecting that right is everyone’s responsibility.
At Little Lantern Group, our programs are built on a foundation of safety, trust, and dignity. We deliver a range of NDIS disability and child safety support services that are carefully designed to protect and empower every individual in our care. From in-home support to community engagement and therapeutic services, each program is guided by trauma-informed practice, strict safety protocols, and a deep commitment to wellbeing. We don’t just meet standards — we exceed them, creating safe, inclusive environments where participants feel respected, supported, and secure. Our safe programs are a pathway to building confidence, connection, and community — because at Little Lantern Group, safety isn’t optional, it’s embedded in everything we do.
We tailor our services to each participant’s goals and interests, encouraging meaningful participation and community inclusion.
From group outings to creative workshops, we support diverse social experiences that reflect each participant's cultural background.
We help individuals develop interpersonal skills, reduce isolation, and strengthen self-esteem through social interaction and active engagement.
At Little Lantern Group, we believe that healing begins with cultural safety. Our Culturally Safe Program is built to protect, uplift, and empower children, youth, and families who are navigating trauma, family breakdown, or cultural disconnection. We work with those affected by substance abuse, domestic violence, forced marriage, neglect, and other challenges – offering a safe, respectful space to recover, rebuild, and grow.
Cultural safety means more than translation or diversity — it means deep listening, respect, and care that acknowledges lived experiences, community identity, and intergenerational trauma. We don’t just respond to crises — we walk beside people through their healing journeys, helping them reclaim their identity, rebuild safe relationships, and restore cultural pride. Whether you’re a parent, carer, young person, or service provider, our doors are open, and our hearts are too.
We offer wraparound support for children and families affected by trauma, displacement, or unsafe home environments — including culturally tailored parenting support, family reunification, and respectful case management that honours traditions and community wisdom.
For families fractured by drug and alcohol abuse, domestic violence, forced marriages, or honour-based harm, we provide compassionate, confidential care. Our trauma-informed team walks with survivors — never ahead of them — to help restore safety, dignity, and hope.
Disconnection from culture often leaves young people lost. Through mentoring, cultural camps, leadership programs and mental health support, we help youth rebuild confidence, connect to community, and navigate challenges with strength and pride.
Families navigating disability often feel overwhelmed — especially when systems don’t understand their culture. We deliver NDIS-aligned services like support coordination, personal care, and capacity-building through culturally sensitive workers who "get it."
We work in partnership with community leaders, elders, and frontline services to prevent harm before it happens. Through early intervention, education, and culturally appropriate advocacy, we strive to keep children safe and families together, whenever possible.
We believe in acting early and gently. Our team supports families on the brink of breakdown with culturally grounded interventions, practical supports, and parenting resources tailored to their realities — not just paperwork.
Our programs are designed with compassion and cultural depth. We use story-sharing, yarning circles, art, and traditional healing practices alongside clinical and therapeutic supports — creating safety not only physically, but emotionally and spiritually.
Healing is a community effort. We engage whole communities through workshops, cultural events, and healing spaces that empower families, build awareness, and foster unity across cultures and generations.
At Little Lantern Group, we promise to walk with you — not to fix, judge, or rush your journey, but to support it with genuine care, cultural respect, and real understanding. Every person we support is more than a “case” — they are part of a story, a culture, a family, and a future. We are committed to creating a world where every child grows up safe, seen, and proud, where families are healed not separated, and where community is the foundation of care. You are not alone. We are here. And we walk with you.
Take the first step toward a brighter, safer, and more supportive future for your child. Join us today and become part of a community where every child is seen, heard, and empowered to thrive.
We walk beside families, carers, and communities with respect and care — offering NDIS support, child and youth protection services, and healing pathways grounded in culture, dignity, and trust.
Little Lantern Group acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we operate. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging, and honour their enduring connection to Country, culture, and community.
