We are a service provider who offer a range of options to sustain Family, Kin, Foster and other supported living arrangements.
We offer three diverse ranges of client care for Young People, Families, Carers (Foster & Kin), and Service Providers.
These Principles are how we hold ourselves accountable to ensure the A.R.C.H.E.S. Model of Care is being delivered to every client.
Founded in 2019, Arches Accommodation Supports was created after our sister company, Real Support Services, continued to receive referrals for Young People where traditional residential care models were unable to support their needs.
We recognised the sector needed something different and innovative to respond to this need. Arches Accommodation Supports created an alternative to standard residential care.
We work collaboratively with existing services to tailor care that is individualised to the Young Person’s needs, with a focus on Trauma-Informed, Therapeutic and Strengths-Based practice.
We continue to develop and expand the ARCHES Practice Framework, Services, and Training through consultation with Child Safety, Community Organisations and Stakeholders. This ensures that we are sustaining Family, Kin, Foster, and other supported living arrangements as the central focal point of each decision we make along the way.
We follow the Arches Practice Framework to ensure that our team are delivering a client-centred approach every step of the way. Through our client journey, we are committed to providing a strengths-based and trauma-informed practice to help our clients achieve best outcomes.
