Blue Knot Foundation is the National Centre of Excellence for Complex Trauma. It works to empower recovery for the more than five million (1 in 4) Australian adults who are survivors of complex trauma, their families and their communities.
As the National Centre of Excellence for Complex Trauma, we deliver on our purpose to empower survivors, their families and communities to heal and recover, every day. That’s because more than 5 million adult Australians are affected by repeated abuse, neglect and violence, many devastatingly so.
Since 1995, we have driven trauma-informed initiatives and complex trauma awareness as advocates, thought leaders, researchers, service providers and trainers, supporting Royal Commissions and enquiries. In 2012 our Practice Guidelines for Treatment of Complex Trauma and Trauma Informed Care and Service Delivery in 2012 became a global first, heralding of suite of publications setting clinical and organisational practice standards.
We deliver services into urban, rural and regional communities in every state and territory, some direct to survivors and their loved ones and others building the capacity of diverse sectors and services:
We believe that our culture sets us apart from other organisations. That’s because we pride ourselves on living and breathing our core Values and Trauma Informed Principles. They underpin everything we do and support us to make a difference every single day.
Our staff are our heart and soul. To support you to be your best and to balance your busy lives we provide a range of programs and support structures regardless of whether you work full or part time:
As we don’t have an office, all our roles are home based. This means that personal time can be enjoyed to the full, and we all save time travelling. We do have access to meeting spaces to support in person team and cross-team collaboration at scheduled times. However, our technology, communication channels and infrastructure have been designed to support individual and team productivity and whole of organisation connections regardless of where you live.
It takes a truly collaborative effort to build a culture internally of which we are all proud and which enables us to optimise the impact we make externally. We foster and forge structures to support the sharing of ideas and insights and to provide and respond to feedback to drive our organisational development internally and externally.
At Blue Knot, we don’t just provide all staff with a competitive salary, but also offer full charitable organisation salary packaging benefits that enable our permanent and fixed term staff to deduct certain personal expenses from their gross pay before income tax is applied.
These personal expenses can include:
Blue Knot Foundation respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the Lands on which we work and pay respect to First Nations peoples and their Elders past and present. We acknowledge their strength and resilience and are honoured to journey with them on the path to healing and reconciliation.
