Afri-Aus Care Inc. provides Culturally Appropriate Mental Health assessment and a variety of support services to African Australian youth-at-risk, their families and those from other CALD backgrounds. We use UBUNTU guidelines and the Positive Change Model as the foundations of assisting people to live meaningful lives. Participants are then further referred to appropriate Health professionals and other Stakeholders for achievable outcomes. We use Culturally Appropriate programs in all our projects, as a result, our organisation has been able to reach out to community members at the grassroots level. We also work in collaboration with private and public Stakeholders, for example, various government bodies, Rotary clubs, and educational institutions to reach our strategic goals. We offer intensive biopsychosocial and wellbeing risk assessment such as counselling, legal/court/post-release community support, alternative education and employment pathways as well as further referrals to appropriate health care providers and other organisations. Afri-Aus Care provides placement opportunities for tertiary students from various educational institutions in Victoria, including RMIT, Monash University, Chisholm, Holmesglen, Swinburne University of Technology, Stott’s College, Victoria University, etc. Afri-Aus Care also works with the University of Melbourne, the Swinburne University of Technology and Psyche Foundation on a number of research and evaluation projects.
