Concern Australia works for a time when every young person has equal and ready access to the best opportunities, the most promising future and every possibility of achieving their dreams and fulfilling their potential... regardless of their background.
As a Registered Training Organisation (RTO), Concern Australia gives HBT participants the opportunity to complete an automotive course and graduate with a Certificate 1 in Automotive. Participants then present their completed course vehicle to a Victim of Crime.
HBT also helps turn lives around by providing Under the Hood courses for year 9 students at risk of premature termination of their education, and Rev it Up! for young people with disabilities.
The HBT centres rely heavily on the support and interaction of local and national businesses through its Work Placement Scheme, Corporate Partnerships, 3 Way - Professional Development Training (Leadership - Coaching - Mentoring), Donate a Car program and generous support from the community.
