QPASTT

Founded in 1995, QPASTT provides specialised, culturally responsive services to promote the health and wellbeing of people in Australia who have sought safety from persecution, torture and war-related trauma. Our vision is for people from refugee backgrounds to live lives liberated from the harms of torture, trauma and human rights injustice. We are a state-wide organisation, with offices in Brisbane, Logan, Inala, Cairns, Townsville and Toowoomba and outreach services across Queensland. QPASTT is a member of the Forum of Australian Services for Survivors of Torture and Trauma (FASSTT), a network of eight specialist rehabilitation agencies that respond to the needs of survivors of torture and trauma who have come to Australia from overseas. There is a FASSTT member agency in each state and territory in Australia. QPASTT is a member of the International Rehabilitation Council for Torture Victims (IRCT), a global membership fighting to eradicate torture and offer health-based rehabilitation services to help torture victims rebuild their lives. QPASTT is a non-profit Company Limited by Guarantee and a registered charity with no political or religious affiliations. QPASTT’s patron is Her Excellency the Honourable Dr Jeannette Young PSM, Governor of Queensland.
