About Us

Queensland Program of Assistance to Survivors of Torture and Trauma (QPASTT) provides a range of services to people from refugee backgrounds, including asylum seekers, who have survived torture or war related trauma.

QPASTT provides direct services to adults, young people, children and families in the form of counselling, advocacy, group work, psycho-education, information sessions, recreational programs and natural therapies. Direct services to clients are coupled with referral, training and education roles aimed at developing and strengthening the resources of various communities and service providers.

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 of Australia.

QPASTT thanks its patron, the Governor of Queensland, Her Excellency, Ms. Penelope Wensley AO, for her generous support of our organisation.
