Services & Projects
We've got a lot of projects happening here at CAAPS, and we're always looking to take on new ones. This is what we have going at the moment:
The Healthy Families Department runs a 12-week comprehensive family-focused residential rehabilitation program which incorporates a range of services including withdrawal, rehabilitation, primary health care, education and housing assistance. |
The Dolly Garinyi Hostel is home to our clients from the Volatile Substance Abuse and Healthy Families programs, providing supported accommodation in a semi-rural environment. |
The Youth Wellbeing Project focuses on intervention at a young age, through delivering education about alcohol and substance abuse on the ground in remote communities. |
The Volatile Substance Abuse program is an 8-week program which runs concurrently with the Healthy Families program, it has three main elements: educational sessions, life skills sessions and recreational activites. |
The Training Department equips students, workplaces and job-seekers with nationally accredited and non-accredited training in community services, both on CAAPS grounds and across remote Northern Australia. |

Awards & Recognition
In 2009, we were proud to announce that we received two awards for one of our most recent projects; the Sundowner DVD-Rom. With the assistance of the Australian Flexible Learning Framework and the Human Services Training Advisory Council, we created an e-learning tool which provided a safety induction for new night patrol workers and was distributed to 73 community patrols in the NT through the Attorney-General’s office. The Sundowner Project was the winner of the Education, Training and Research category of the Northern Territory Safer Communities Awards 2009 and was Highly Commended nationally in the Australian Safer Communities Awards 2009.
