Berry Street

We believe in people.

We believe that children, young people and families should be safe, thriving and hopeful.  As one of Australia’s largest independent family service organisations, this belief is the heartbeat of our organisation. It defines our purpose, reflects our 140-year history and guides our future.

It is a belief that unites our staff, inspires our partners and donors, and enables us to deliver the best possible outcomes for the people we work alongside.

We also challenge beliefs. We do not accept social injustice, inequality, or system failure. We will always question, inquire, and advocate. Together, we seek change towards what we believe in based upon our values of courage, respect, integrity, accountability and working together.

Above all, we see, hear and respond to the experiences and voices of those with whom we work to make a positive impact on their lives.

Berry Street Professional Learning & Development

At Berry Street we believe that sharing our practice knowledge and expertise with the broader sector improves outcomes for the vulnerable children, young people and families that we work with.  Our work focuses on delivering workshops, courses, events and blended learning opportunities through our professional development calendar as well as through consultation services and tailored training.

Our areas of focus are determined based on Berry Street’s innovative services, practice development and strategic priorities. In each area we seek to build, share and use knowledge with other practitioners and organisations. Ultimately the aim of sharing our practice expertise is to improve outcomes for children and young people who have experienced disadvantage.
