What we do

When crime takes away your sense of safety, we help you rebuild it.

Experiencing crime can affect how safe a person feels long after the incident itself. In Queensland, Shield & Rebuild may consider practical, respectful support for eligible referred clients. We are building a broader network of appropriately qualified external providers to support future growth beyond Queensland as capacity allows.

Electronic security and security upgrades

For eligible referred clients in Queensland, Shield & Rebuild may arrange and/or fund electronic security and security upgrades, including CCTV, alarm and access-control systems and related security solutions. Where other work is required, appropriately qualified external providers may be engaged. Options depend on assessed needs, location, provider availability and funding.

Digital-safety pathways

General information and support pathways for people concerned about cybercrime, online harassment, digital privacy or related digital-safety issues.

Recovery pathways

Trauma-informed recovery pathways recognise that recovery is personal, paced, and different for every individual and family. For eligible referred clients in Queensland, Shield & Rebuild may seek to facilitate or fund counselling or psychological support through appropriately qualified external providers, subject to assessment, provider availability and available funding.

Eligibility and support are assessed case by case. Client referrals are accepted only from recognised charities, police, and government bodies. A referral does not guarantee assistance. Authorised representatives can download the Client Assistance Form before lodging a secure referral.
