About the KEYS Program

In KEYS, Anglicare Victoria, in collaboration with DFFH Child Protection, Mind Australia, Monash Health, VACCA, and the Youth Support and Advocacy Service (YSAS), supports young people aged 12–17 years experiencing complex emotional and behavioural challenges, particularly those in or at risk of entering residential care. KEYS is an intensive transitional program designed to help young people stabilise behaviours and build skills, enabling their transition from residential care to less intensive community-based options like foster care, kinship care, independent living, or reunification with family.

The program operates across two residential homes in Dandenong and Noble Park, each accommodating up to four young people at a time. The Senior Case Manager will manage up to eight cases:

  • Manage program administration, including case notes, reports, and KEYS assessment plans (in partnership with KEYS practitioners).
  • Amplify young people’s voices in their goal planning.

 

What Sets KEYS Apart

The program is underpinned by principles such as:

  • Positive, aspirational culture.
  • Holistic and culturally informed assessments.
  • Family and community connections.
  • Interdisciplinary collaboration and planned transitions.
  • Access to education and vocational opportunities.
