We Are TCT

Teen Challenge Tasmania exists to prevent addiction, isolation, hopelessness and disengagement among young people by walking alongside them with holistic, long-term support.

We believe every young person deserves the chance to thrive — no matter their past, challenges or starting point. Our programs equip them with tools for life: resilience, education, belonging, purpose, and hope.

A powerful cognitive training program helping students overcome learning difficulties and re-engage with education and confidence.

NotEvenOnce Projects

Hands-on skill-building through Hope Café and Hope Costumes & Thrift, offering supported work experience in hospitality and retail.

Pathways to Recovery
We support individuals and families navigating addiction by:
