Churches of Christ in Queensland

What Churches of Christ in Queensland does

Churches of Christ in Queensland is a not-for-profit religious organisation and registered charity operating across Queensland and Victoria, delivering over 200 essential care and community services to more than 25,000 Australians each year. Founded in the 1890s as the Department of Social Service and formerly trading as Churches of Christ Care, the organisation now employs nearly 4,000 staff across multiple service lines: residential aged care homes, home care packages, retirement villages, dementia/palliative/respite care, foster and kinship care, youth transition programs (BRIDGeS, YouthConnect, Next Steps Plus, Extended Post Care Support), social and disability housing, and affiliated church and chaplaincy services. Major purpose-built facilities include the $32 million Little Mountain Campus (Caloundra, opened February 2019), the 64-room Fassifern Aged Care Service (Boonah, opened July 2020), and the 94-bed Toowoomba Aged Care Service.

The organisation's business model rests on three revenue streams: government-subsidised service contracts for aged care, child protection, and housing; charitable donations via the donation portal (tax-deductible from AUD 2); and investment products offered through the Churches of Christ Foundation, which publishes interest rates to retail investors and reinvests returns into service delivery. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, with services delivered across 100+ communities through residential facilities, in-home care, and community-based programs in regions including Moreton Bay, Bribie Island, Caboolture, Redcliffe, North Brisbane, Townsville, and Mt Isa. Marketing relies on a content-led website (cofc.com.au), segmented email newsletters (Seniors Living, Foster & Kinship Care, Housing Support), Facebook community engagement, and regional gathering events attended by the Board and executive leadership.

Governance is via an independent Board and Council structure with no parent company or external owner; senior leadership comprises a CEO, Board Chair, Council Chair, and functional Directors overseeing seniors and supported living, allied health, and regional operations. The organisation's value proposition rests on integrated service breadth, faith-based mission, 140+ years of community presence, and the ability to support clients across life stages from retirement living through residential aged care, supplemented by culturally specific programming for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families. Pricing varies by service, with home care and residential aged care funded through government subsidies (and means-tested fees), while donations and Foundation investments provide non-government funding.
