We believe in thinking differently and we encourage our team to do the same. Our friendly and collaborative team are committed to making a difference in the community and in the lives of the people we support.
Footsteps Community Services is a family-owned, for-purpose organisation that was founded with a desire to support those who have been marginalised or made vulnerable.
Unlike many organisations, the majority of our therapeutic and support work is not conducted in the therapy room. We provide unique, accessible services tailored to our clients’ needs and desires. Our holistic, evidence-based approaches aim to empower and support our clients to maximise their quality of life and achieve their goals.
We’re innovative in nature and we love to hear ideas from the team on how we can continue to best support our clients.

We provide mental health and disability support services to clients of all ages, cultures and backgrounds throughout South East QLD and the wider Australian community.

We’re passionate about supporting new entrants in our industry and regularly offer student placements, often with the opportunity to become a permanent employee. If you are passionate about supporting others and have a thirst to learn, please submit an expression of interest.

“… as a staff member, I was seen as a person, not just another employee. Footsteps provided me many opportunities for professional development, work life balance, and accommodations for my own health issues. And because of this, I grew exponentially, as a person.
No matter if you are a client or prospective employee, the people at Footsteps will be there for you.”

“I completed my student placement for Masters of Counselling here. This is a workplace that has the best workplace culture that I have experienced to date. Students are treated as employees and ‘person-centred care’ is demonstrated to both clients and staff. This workplace was a true demonstration of strengths based practice in action. I have truly enjoyed my time here..”
