Mercy Family Services
Community Service in Brisbane

Our individual and family encourage programs provide a range of services to children, young people, families and local communities. In 1969, a social work unit was established at St Vincent’s to plan for children’s care, improve connections with their families, maintain standards of care and liaise with the statutory authority, at that time Queensland Department of Children’s Services. By the early 1990s, Fatima had five programs offering a continuum of care: family support, emergency placements for children lower twelve years of age, foster care, adolescent residential placements and an independent living program. We also join our young people who are transitioning out of the concern system with local community support services and with their families. We work in partnership with the Department of Communities Kid Safety Services, who have overall legal responsibility for foster carers and children and other professionals who yield assessment and specialist advice for children, young people, their families and carers.
