CHAMPIONING IN SPECIALIST BEHAVIOUR SUPPORT
Our story
New Dawn Therapy was founded on a simple belief: that everyone deserves the chance to thrive, no matter the challenges they face. We work alongside individuals, families, and communities across Southeast Queensland and Northern New South Wales, providing person-centred, evidence-based support that meets people where they are. Our name reflects what we hope every person we support feels - that no matter how hard things have been, a new dawn and better days are possible.
Our approach
We combine applied behaviour analysis, trauma-informed practice, and genuine person-centred care. That means listening first, understanding what matters most to you, and building support around your goals - not a one-size-fits-all model.
Service area:
We're primarily based on the Gold Coast, extending services to Tweed Heads, Lismore, Ballina, Brisbane, and Townsville.
We come to you - home, community, or school.
