Triple Care Farm

Recovery starts here

Mission Australia’s Triple Care Farm is a youth-specific residential rehabilitation centre in Knights Hill, NSW. It helps young people aged 16–24 start the journey towards recovery in a safe, youth-focused and supportive environment.

Martin Youth Foundation is the major philanthropic funder of Triple Care Farm. Since 1990, we’ve partnered with Mission Australia to give vulnerable young people a safe place to get well and prepare for new opportunities.

Care for the whole person

Lasting recovery must address what sits alongside it: mental ill health and trauma; housing instability; and disconnection from education, employment and family. We fund programs that work with the whole young person, not just their substance use.

Three stages, one connected model

Our funding of Triple Care Farm offers a full continuum of trauma-informed care:

Residential withdrawal at David Martin Place

Up to 10 days of withdrawal management combined with specialist clinical care and individual and group counselling. David Martin Place is the only youth-specific residential withdrawal program in NSW, providing 24/7 medical support on-site at Triple Care Farm.

Young people deserve youth-specific care

The youth focus of Triple Care Farm is central to its success. Care designed specifically for young people, delivered by workers trained to support them, gives young people a real chance to recover. And the proof is in the numbers: 4 out of 5 young people who complete treatment at a Youth Network aftercare location, including Triple Care Farm, met or partially met their substance use recovery goals.

Daily living

Case management and skills for everyday living.

Future pathways
