Are young people always ready for independence when support changes?

Not always… and that’s okay.

Kanda’s STEADY Steps program helps bridge that gap by supporting young people as they build life skills, confidence, and routines that prepare them for what’s next.

With the right support in place, young people can move forward confidently.

What is Out-of-Home Care?
𝐎𝐮𝐭-𝐨𝐟-𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 provides a safe and supportive living environment for children and young people who are unable to remain with their families.

Non-family based OOHC includes care delivered by trained professionals in structured, supportive homes, focused on safety, stability, and positive development.

Our team at Kanda provides compassionate, structured support to help young people feel safe, build confidence, and work toward positive outcomes. 💛

This is done through our Sanctuary Model and Therapeutic Crisis Intervention (TCI) frameworks that prioritise emotional safety, shared decision-making, and community connection.

While it’s usually preferred to keep a child within a family unit, for some children that isn’t possible. Kanda’s out-of-home care services provide supportive, trauma-informed environments for children and young people who can’t live at home.

We’re more than a workplace, we’re a community.🫶

At Kanda, we support children and young people across Australia through out-of-home care, Supported Independent Living (SIL), family support programs and wrap-around services. Every day, our teams help young people feel safe, stable and connected, through 24/7 residential care or supporting their journey toward independence.

But behind every young person we support, is something just as important: a well-supported team. At Kanda, we know that when our staff feel trained, heard and backed by leadership, young people receive better care.

If you bring care, commitment and a willingness to learn, we’ll support you every step of the way.

Let’s help make a real difference in the lives of children and young people.

The Sanctuary Model is a trauma-informed approach to care that helps create safe, healing environments for people impacted by trauma. It focuses on understanding what happened rather than what’s wrong, guiding how we support emotional safety, trust, and recovery.

At Kanda, the Sanctuary Model shapes everything we do to ensure everyone feels safe and valued on their journey.

Our complete guide below explains how trauma-informed care can transform the lives of children, young people and families. .

Kanda applies the Sanctuary Model to build safe, supportive workplaces and empower our clients and staff to manage trauma, stress, and relationships with care.

🧦 Rock Your Socks!

Every year on World Down Syndrome Day (March 21), people around the world wear brightly coloured, mismatched socks to celebrate the uniqueness of individuals with Down syndrome.

But did you know there’s a meaning behind it?

The date 3/21 represents the three copies of chromosome 21 that people with Down syndrome have. And fun fact: the chromosomes seen under a microscope can actually look like mismatched socks!

So today, people everywhere “Rock Their Socks” to start conversations about inclusion, acceptance, and celebrating differences.

At Kanda, we’re proud to celebrate the strengths, individuality, and achievements of this community every day.💛

Show us your socks! 🧦
