A Benevolent Organisation

Teen Challenge Tasmania Inc is a benevolent organisation. Each Australian Teen Challenge centre runs independently both financially and operationally of Global Teen Challenge and each other. We therefore rely mainly on the generous donations, funding and volunteer efforts of both individuals and organisations throughout our communities in order to offer our services at a minimal cost to the individual.

It is the belief of Teen Challenge that community involvement and support is an essential component of recovery to drug affected youth and necessary in providing services that address the specific needs of the communities involved.

Teen Challenge Tasmania Inc is recognised as a public benevolent institution under Australia Tax legislation.
