Hear the testimonies

I am over the moon that I stumbled across this great opportunity to study and work towards getting my Certificate 4 in Child, Youth & Family Intervention. I have learnt so much from the Hope & Healing Framework and it has already helped me in my current employment. I am grateful to be a part of Peak Care and the Courses that they have provided and grateful to Michelle and Brianne for their continued support along this journey.

Hear the testimonies

The Peak Care Talent Centre Program has been life-changing for me, providing the confidence, skills, and direction needed to transition from retail and hospitality to Youth Care. The unwavering support from Briane, the program coordinator, and Michelle, the trainer, made a significant difference, ensuring I felt comfortable and motivated throughout. The practical training fully prepared me for a career in youth care, and even after the program ended, the support continued as I work towards my Certificate IV in Child, Youth, and Family Intervention. This program has given me everything I need to succeed, and I am incredibly grateful for the impact it has had on my life.
