Our Story
Founded by Christine Cummings in 1997, CAS has supported South Australian families, emergency services and professionals for over two decades.
Christine’s work began from a deeply personal experience that showed her just how overwhelming the aftermath of trauma can be for loved ones.
Since then, CAS has become a trusted, compassionate support service, helping families focus on healing while we handle the practical and emotional burden of scene restoration.
“For the people, for those left behind.”
