About Us

At ATSI House of Healing, we are committed to empowering Indigenous youth by providing culturally sensitive support and educational programs. Under the guidance of Indigenous rapper Ranald Link, a dedicated advocate with over ten years of experience in Indigenous support, cultural education, music, sports, and residential care, we aim to cultivate resilience and instill a strong sense of cultural pride in our youth.

 

Our mission is to provide holistic care that integrates both traditional practices and modern educational methods. We offer a range of services, including:

 

Emergency Accommodation: We provide short-term care for children removed from their homes, prioritising cultural awareness and emotional support during their transition.

 

Residential Care: Our long-term support emphasises cultural integration and balanced care, helping children learn and thrive in both Indigenous and mainstream environments.

 

Cultural Healing Camps: Through activities like cultural therapy, music therapy, arts therapy, and sports therapy, we prepare children for reintegration into society while nurturing

​

Juvenile Detention Programs: We are committed to transforming lives by working directly with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth in juvenile justice centres. Our goal is to build trust, foster cultural connection, and break cycles of intergenerational trauma, abuse, and crime.

​

Post Care Programs: We stay connected with children that come through our programs. We make sure they understand that we are committed to helping them even when moved back into community. Breaking the cycle starts with committed programs that go above and beyond the industry standard.

​

NDIS Services: As part of our holistic approach, ATSI House of Healing is proud to offer NDIS-funded supports designed to empower Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander participants through culturally safe, trauma-informed care.

​

Our NDIS services include:​

• In-Home & Community Support

• Therapeutic & Cultural Supports

• Skill Development & Capacity Building

• Transition & Advocacy
   

We are committed to walking beside our participants empowering them to lead their own journeys with cultural strength and holistic care.

​

In Australia, more than 50,000 children and young people are currently in out-of-home care.  Most programs are inundated with children in need and most programs are stretched thin which leads to an inability to break cycles. 

 

ATSI House of Healing is dedicated to addressing this disparity. Our goal is to foster resilient communities capable of nurturing and supporting our youth. We believe that every child and young person deserves to grow up in environments that are trauma-informed and culturally safe.

 

To achieve this, ATSI House of Healing focuses on attracting and training compassionate, skilled individuals who are committed to this mission. By building a strong community of the right people, we can create a future where everyone receives the care and support they need, regardless of their circumstances or background.
