Business / Provider Profile
Blue Knot Foundation is the National Centre of Excellence for Complex Trauma. We empower recovery and build resilience for adults impacted by complex trauma. This includes 1 in 4 adult Australians who have experienced childhood trauma.



What do we do?



Supporting survivors and those who support them

People who experience abuse and trauma in childhood or complex trauma as an adult often struggle with their psychological and physical health. People supporting them often don’t know what to do and say. Blue Knot Foundation empowers survivors to recover and supports those around them.

Trauma training

A workforce that understands trauma and works in a trauma-informed way supports recovery. This includes workers and volunteers in a range of roles through to practitioners working therapeutically with people impacted by complex trauma.

Building a trauma-informed community

Whether it’s from assault or violence, or as the result of a flood, fire or accident, in childhood or other adverse events as an adult, trauma is very common. It affects us all. By building a trauma-informed community, which understands the nature of trauma, its impacts and possibilities for recovery, we not only support and empower survivors, but we also look after ourselves.

Using research and practice evidence to inform complex trauma treatment, including child sexual abuse

We analyse evidence from research and practice, to identify what works and what doesn’t work in treating complex trauma. Our work highlights the critical differences between the nature, dynamics and treatment of single incident trauma (PTSD) and complex trauma.
