Why we do what we do
Children and young people have the right to live in an environment that is free from violence and abuse and a right to access all supports available within their community.
Rosie’s Place is committed to working to support children, young people and families to address the impacts of such violence, and advocate for their ongoing safety and protection.
Through collaborative work with the community we seek to improve the supports and relationships that are fundamental to all aspects of empowerment, personal efficacy and the promotion of well-being.
