About this company

Hamann Care is a new and upcoming organisation dedicated to providing vulnerable children and young people with the highest quality of care and experiences. The children and young people you will be supporting, have experienced trauma throughout their earlier life, and deserve the opportunity to live and grow in an environment free from harm and abuse, build safe and meaningful relationships and enjoy fun and unique experiences. At Hamann Care, we are committed to achieving the highest possible outcomes for our young people, we believe that every child should be ambitious for their future, and we are dedicated to supporting them in achieving their goals. Our young people have access to a spacious group home living environment, designed to support 3 young people between 10 to 18-years of age. At Hamann Care, we firmly believe that challenging behaviours are the result of traumatic experiences, and an expression of emotions rooted in life events. It is our duty as a care provider to have an empathic, patient, and understanding approach towards our children. To support with and build upon their confidence, strengthen their resilience and provide opportunities to develop strong positive relationships with others, providing them with the tools to help them move forward with taking their next steps through life.
