About BRACE
We are a not-for-profit organisation that has provided education and training services for nearly 50 years.
Our delivery is underpinned by our vision that social and economic participation should be a right of all individuals in our communities.
We offer support to people from various backgrounds and abilities, including disengaged youth, migrants, long-term unemployed, people with disabilities, and those facing financial, learning or social barriers.
What we do
We offer individualised, client-focused services and people who use our services can feel reassured that they will be treated with respect, dignity and equality when they connect with us.
Our senior management, leadership teams and all of our staff have a vision to make BRACE a dynamic, innovative and collaborative organisation with a reputation for high-quality services. Whilst this strategic vision presents an opportunity for the development of a culture of high performance, we will ensure that we remain connected to our local communities and to local people.
BRACE is a part of the Community Solutions Group (CSG) - a for-purpose human services organisation. Over the years CSG have joined with like-minded organisations to expand our services to also include education and training, employment and specialist disability supports across Queensland and Victoria.
As a group, we deliver 25+ programs to more than 17,000 customers.
Coming together with Endeavour Foundation in 2014 enabled Community Solutions Group to be better than ever, by not just reaching more people but supporting them in more ways.
